Drop support for Home and XDG config files
This has been a huge support burden for us. I seriously considered doing
this in 3.0 but caved to a vocal minority and the desire to keep as much
backwards compatibility as possible. At this point, however, I'm done
witnessing the abuse Anthony has to suffer over this and I'm done with
the undue hostility that people who don't bother to read the docs
display. Hopefully, this eases that a bit.

 Flake8
========

Flake8 is a wrapper around these tools:

- PyFlakes
- pycodestyle
- Ned Batchelder's McCabe script

Flake8 runs all the tools by launching the single ``flake8`` command.
It displays the warnings in a per-file, merged output.

It also adds a few features:

- files that contain this line are skipped::

    # flake8: noqa

- lines that contain a ``# noqa`` comment at the end will not issue warnings.
- you can ignore specific errors on a line with ``# noqa: <error>``, e.g.,
  ``# noqa: E234``. Multiple codes can be given, separated by comma. The ``noqa`` token is case insensitive, the colon before the list of codes is required otherwise the part after ``noqa`` is ignored
- Git and Mercurial hooks
- extendable through ``flake8.extension`` and ``flake8.formatting`` entry
  points
