[pbs-devel] [PATCH backup v3 1/2] http_client: store tickets in the user's config directory

The environment variable XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is only set if the user is
logged into a seat. If, for example, the backup client was run with
`sudo` then the ticket would not be a stored.

By storing the ticket in the user's configuration directory, it can be
reused later if the user logs out.

Since the tickets are only valid for a limited time, it is not a problem
if this file is not automatically cleaned.
