Use user_cache_dir for app data with auto-migration from old location

[rahuldevikar]

--symlink-app-data creates symlinks from virtualenvs pointing into the app-data directory. If we just hard-switch from user_data_dir -> user_cache_dir, existing symlinks would break because they point to the old location.
