path: don't override "cache" and "state" paths with configdir
This reverts commit 576e86bfa18a0a79e591988ad93ed009edc40849 (functionally). Right now, the --config-dir option silently causes all watch_later and cache files to be written in the --config-dir as well. This is pretty uninitutive and also not desirable in most cases so get rid of this. libmpv users will have to set the corresponding options or env vars if they want to keep the old behaviour.
