Motivation
Currently the examples (and other static data) are stored inside the arduino home folder.
Current location: ~/.local/share/arduino-app-cli
This is needed because at some point the arduino-flasher-cli will support keeping user data, by preserving the user partition (where the arduino home folder is mounted). And we cannot keep some static data in the preserved paths, otherwise that data would not match the software version that gets installed in the root partition (which is not preserved).
Change description
Additional Notes
The installation scripts try to gracefully stop any runner application and delete the .cache directory, allowing the packaging system to clean the installed files.
Test
Case test #1 fresh install
Case test #2 purge after a fresh install
Case test #3 upgrade from 0.8.0 to 0.9.0
