Daniel Martí b336526422 os: change UserConfigDir on Darwin to ~/Library/Application Support
The old code used ~/Library/Preferences, which is documented by
Apple as:

	This directory contains app-specific preference files. You
	should not create files in this directory yourself. Instead, use
	the NSUserDefaults class or CFPreferences API to get and set
	preference values for your app.

It looks like we missed everything after the first sentence; it's
definitely not the right choice for files that Go programs and users
should be touching directly.

Instead, use ~/Library/Application Support, which is documented as:

	Use this directory to store all app data files except those
	associated with the user’s documents. For example, you might use
	this directory to store app-created data files, configuration
	files, templates, or other fixed or modifiable resources that
	are managed by the app. An app might use this directory to store
	a modifiable copy of resources contained initially in the app’s
	bundle. A game might use this directory to store new levels
	purchased by the user and downloaded from a server.

This seems in line with what UserConfigDir is for, so use it.

The documentation quotes above are obtained from the surprisingly long
link below:

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/FileSystemProgrammingGuide/FileSystemOverview/FileSystemOverview.html

Fixes #32475.
