[CREATE] Application specific data in OpenRaster

[Jon Nordby]

In MyPaint we are storing a couple of application specific things as files
in data/ and during a load-save cycle we recreate these files from scratch.
This has the unfortunate side-effect that everything we don't know whats for
gets discarded. While not really a prerequisite for fixing this, I think
some kind of standardized name-spacing for the stuff in data/ is needed, so
we don't clobber each others files. And specify that a round-trip between
two applications does not delete any application specific data.

So how do we do this? My initial idea is to keep it real simple:
1) store application specific files in data/APPLICATION/
2) always keep the other subfolders unchanged
