Subject: [PATCH] fix: revert public defaults to appdata, flash paths are
 user-local only
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Bootstrap varaverk.cfg default and conf template default back to
/mnt/user/appdata/Varaverk — safe for USB boot users. Flash paths
(/boot/config/plugins/varaverk) are set in the user's gitignored
personal configs and don't affect public installs.
