home-manager: support `.config` configuration path
This commit changes the default path of the Home Manager configuration
file from `~/.nixpkgs/home.nix` to `~/.config/nixpkgs/home.nix`. The
old path is still supported and will be used if the `.config` path
does not exist.
This aligns Home Manager with the preferred configuration directory in
NixOS 17.03.
Fixes #13.
