Add support for the XDG Base Directory Specification

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if tmate ever considered supporting the XDG base directory specification, especially XDG_CONFIG_HOME for the default configuration file, otherwise fall back to ~./tmate.conf for backward compatibility.
For example, tmux 3.1 introduced ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf and in 3.2 XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/tmux.conf was added.
in the meantime, you can put this into your .{bash,zsh}rc file:
alias tmate='tmate -f "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/tmate/tmate.conf"'@pierreprinetti Fair enough! (I've definitely missed that -f flag). Thank you very much.
Maybe one last thing would be to include these locations (~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf and XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/tmux.conf) into the default lookup path, even if I'm not sure how much effort such a change might require and if it will be worth it. What do you think ?
That would be ideal, however I don't speak C unfortunately.
At least, I consider the issue (uncluttered ~ ) resolved for me so again, thank you!
