This change causes site_config_dir function to return
/etc/cheat on linux systems. This is right because most
linux distributions follow FHS where /etc is a directory
which contains system-wide configuration files.
dpkg -I (capital i) is for showing information about a package.
dpkg -l (lowercase l) is for listing packages matching given pattern.
So, here is a fix for the typo.
The prior attempt to resolve#420 and #431 relied on `appdirs` to
determine the appropriate directories into which to install files.
Previously, `setup.py` dynamically attempted to install `appdirs` via
`pip` during installation if necessary.
This attempt to failed on multiple platforms, however, due to
backwards-incompatible `pip` interfaces.
As a workaround, I have now directly included `appdirs` (a small module)
within `cheat` itself. This approach is explicitly supported per the
`appdirs` documentation:
https://pypi.org/project/appdirs/
Resolves the following:
- #351 (use of `sudo` when installing)
- #420 (failure to install on Windows)
- #431 (failure to install on MacOS)
Application now relies on `appdirs` module to identify the appropriate
locations for storing configuration and data, both during installation
and runtime.
Attempted to address various cross-platform installation issues:
- Removed all hard-coded references to file-paths, and replaced them
with paths provided by `appdirs`.
- Removed (erroneously inserted) default file paths which would never be
checked due to application logic.
- Modified `setup.py` to no longer install a configuration file. The
mechanics are still in place to **read** a configuration file, but
after examination, I've concluded that the installation of that file
is best left to package maintainers rather than `cheat` itself.

This doesn't give an SSH shell, but just forwards the ports - which is what one usually requires when setting up a SOCKS proxy.
The -q is to suppress messages etc.
