AppData/Local folder which contains the kate files laying around there

While using Kate for Microsoft Windows 10 I found out that Kate stores its data without any folder in the AppData/Local folder. This is very unwanted behaviour of any application.

The wrong bug report was referenced in the MR. Moving back to "REPORTED"

Hmm, that is the default location uses by KConfig.
If that is unwanted on Windows, we might need to alter this globally and move the stuff in some kfX sub-folder.
