Move mackup's config to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mackup
- move all of mackup's config files into $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mackup:
  + ~/.mackup.cfg => configs for mackup itself
  + ~/.mackup/*.cfg => custom sync rules applied by mackup
- add automatic installation of `pipx` and `mackup` during the
  setup of the dotfiles
  + `pipx`'s config is moved into $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
  + `mackup`s config locations are adapted via a "little hack"

# Configuration for `mackup`
This folder contains various **config** files
to make [`mackup`](https://github.com/lra/mackup)
synchronize (dot) files the general public should *not* see.
Their format is described [here](https://github.com/lra/mackup/tree/master/doc#add-support-for-an-application-or-almost-any-file-or-directory).
## Changed Location
`mackup`'s default configuration lies the the ~/.mackup.cfg file
and in the ~/.mackup folder that holds config files with
custom sync rules not supported "out of the box."
With a "little hack" during the setup of the dotfiles in this repository,
`mackup`s config files are moved to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mackup.
