Further work on animated GIF export: XDG Pictures

Browse source 
Using XDG's user dir settings to determine where pictures are
stored for a user (e.g., "~/Pictures" -- used as a fallback).
May be overridden using "--exportdir".

Also, while I was updating some docs, replace references to
"Mac OS X" with "macOS", the new name of that OS these days.

exportdir=DIRECTORY
Use this option to change where Tux Paint exports files —
single images, or animated GIF slideshows — for external use.
If you do not override it, the default location is:
* Linux & Unix — If available, wherever your desktop
environment is configured for pictures to be stored,
based on your XDG (X Desktop Group) configuration. (Try
running the command-line "xdg-user-dir PICTURES" to find
out.)
Typically (in an English locale), this will be a
"Pictures/" subdirectory in your home directory (i.e.,
"$HOME/Pictures/" aka "~/Pictures").
Tux Paint will fall back to using that typical directory,
of no XDG configuration can be read, or nothing is set
for "XDG_PICTURES_DIR".
