Default download/install to ~/.msvc-go-wine when no dir is given

--dest (download) and the positional dir (install) were previously
required, forcing every user to pick and remember a location. Both now
default to a single hidden ~/.msvc-go-wine, matching the convention most
CLI tools use for their own data dir - still overridable for anyone who
wants a different location.
