// The appName parameter is the name of the application the data directory is
// being requested for.  This function will prepend a period to the appName for
// POSIX style operating systems since that is standard practice.  An empty
// appName or one with a single dot is treated as requesting the current
// directory so only "." will be returned.  Further, the first character
// of appName will be made lowercase for POSIX style operating systems and
// uppercase for Mac and Windows since that is standard practice.
//
// The roaming parameter only applies to Windows where it specifies the roaming
// application data profile (%APPDATA%) should be used instead of the local one
// (%LOCALAPPDATA%) that is used by default.
//
// Example results:
//  dir := AppDataDir("myapp", false)
//   POSIX (Linux/BSD): ~/.myapp
//   Mac OS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Myapp
//   Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Myapp
//   Plan 9: $home/myapp
