Flameshot: Flameshot hardcodes ~/.config/autostart instead of using $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS

[hosiet]

I was reading the source code and found that the source code handling autostart is to hardcode $HOME/.config/autostart/. According to the XDG specification (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/0.5/ar01s02.html), we should be using $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart first and fallback to ~/.config/autostart only when $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS was not set.

This would require a little bit of code refactoring, including searching of both canonical and fallback locations. Maybe we can do it after 0.8.x release.
