Adrien Vergé eabd349902 Config: Allow a user-global configuration file
Instead of just looking for `.yamllint` in the current working
directory, also look for `~/.config/yamllint/config` (using
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` or `$HOME`, see [1] and [2] for information).

yamllint
========

A linter for YAML files.

yamllint does not only check for syntax validity, but for weirdnesses like key
repetition and cosmetic problems such as lines length, trailing spaces,
indentation, etc.
