[GSoC][PATCH 1/3] path.c: Add xdg_cache_home to get paths under XDG_CACHE_HOME

[Devin Lehmacher <lehmacdj@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is necessary to make it posible to use XDG_CACHE_HOME for caches in
the XDG standard. I modeled this after the very similar xdg_config_home
function for obtaining paths to functions under XDG_CONFIG_HOME
