[Linux] .desktop file location is hardcoded instead of checking XDG_DATA_HOME

Hub

-

To reproduce:
1) Have Unity Hub installed, with .desktop file placed in ~/.local/share/applications
2) Redefine your XDG_DATA_HOME variable in the OS (I tested doing that in a script in /etc/profile.d/ on Ubuntu)
3) Restart the system
4) Notice that Unity Hub is no longer in Activities, as applications are now relocated to the new data folder
5) Run UnityHub.AppImage

Expected: It checks the path of XDG_DATA_HOME/applications for .desktop file
Actual: It still checks ~/.local/share/applications/

Reproduced in Unity Hub 1.6
