$XDG_CACHE_HOME may be, in both specification and application, mounted on a tmpfs, removed frequently, &c. It generally appears to be used for small amounts of unimportant data, which is not what Alire expects of it. This commit switches things over to $XDG_DATA_HOME, which is generally more reliable.
