    feat(config-init): platform-specific pathing

    Update `--init` subcommand to rely upon the same platform-detection
    intelligence that was previously implemented by the "installer".

    The installer and `--init` should now produce identical config files.

    fix(tests): fix `config.Paths` tests

    Refactor `config.Paths` (by externalizing a call to `homedir.Dir`) to
    decouple it from filesystem paths, thus facilitating cleaner unit-tests.

    feat(config): refactor config path detection

    Previously, failing other checks, on Unix and BSD systems,
    `config.Paths` would attempt to compute the user's home directory by
    reading the `HOME` environment variable.

    This change deprecates that approach with a call to `homedir.Dir`, which
    is used elsewhere throughout the application.
