Description

On Linux, analysis date are stored under ~/.pylint.d at the moment, which is not compliant with XDG Base Directory Specification.

As @blueyed commented, I believe pickle files should be located under $XDG_CACHE_HOME rather than $XDG_DATA_HOME.

Closes #3878.

Looks good, thank you for implementing this change ! I think there is no breaking changes and it can go in 2.10.0 (ie: we'll merge only when all 2.9.x crashes have been fixed).

Perfect, thanks a lot ! I'm going to merge as soon as we release the last expected 2.9.x

This seems to also (truly) close #1364

FYI, appdirs is effectively unmaintained; platformdirs is the community's forked replacement. Black has already switched, and given this dep was newly added, it would make sense to use the modern, maintained replacement now given its drop-in compatible and fixes numerous long-outstanding bugs with the original, instead of having to switch later if and when things eventually break.
