Expose the name, location, and format of city "bookmark" files #15

One of outside's nicest features is its ability to fetch weather for several cities. It is hard to find where the configuration information about these "bookmarked" cities is stored unless one is conversant with Rust. Although I was able to find it in ~/.cache/outside/*.cache, it took many minutes of reading the source code and poking around in my home directory. I expected to find the "bookmarked" cities in the directory ~/.config/outside/.

I would like to see these changes to outside that will make it more user friendly:

  1. Document the location of the bookmark files.
  2. Document the file format for the bookmark files.
  3. Make the bookmark files human readable.
  4. Move the bookmark files to a system-dependent well known place for configuration files, such as ~/.config/outside/ on Linux.
  5. Give each bookmark file a unique, human-readable name that clearly corresponds to the bookmarked city.
