Let core.excludesfile default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore
To use the feature of core.excludesfile, the user needs:
1. to create such a file,
2. and add configuration variable to point at it.
Instead, we can make this a one-step process by choosing a default value
which points to a filename in the user's $HOME, that is unlikely to
already exist on the system, and only use the presence of the file as a
cue that the user wants to use that feature.
And we use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/ignore" as such a
file, in the same directory as the newly added configuration file
("${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/config). The use of this
directory is in line with XDG specification as a location to store
such application specific files.
