Error: ~/.config/flake8 ignored by linter-flake8

[elfkuzco]

By default, command line flake8 checks for configuration in places such as ~/.config/flake8. However, linter-flake8 fails to load this configuration file by default, resulting in a surprising situation as the flake8 docs suggests putting system wide configurations in the file.
While it is good to have project-level configurations, a system-wide configuration file would be much more helpful in cases where you are working in directories which might not necessarily be a project.
#57 is closed although the issue is still unresolved.
