Launcher puts GPUCache in Home Directory in Linux

The Minecraft launcher uses Chrome to display its interface, and Chrome creates a directory called GPUCache. Minecraft current stores it in the user's home directory. All other programs that use Chrome are kind enough to tuck it away somewhere.

I propose that the Minecraft launcher should do the same and place it in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/minecraft/GPUCache, so as to not clutter up user's home directories and to follow the XDG spec.

At some point this was moved.

.minecraft/webcache/GPUCache

So it is not in the home directory (although .minecraft is), but still should be moved in accordance to MCL-2563.
