 * This file resolves trilium data path in this order of priority:
 * - if TRILIUM_DATA_DIR environment variable exists, then its value is used as the path
 * - if "trilium-data" dir exists directly in the home dir, then it is used
 * - based on OS convention, if the "app data directory" exists, we'll use or create "trilium-data" directory there
 * - as a fallback if previous step fails, we'll use home dir
