Subject: [PATCH] Fix text_threads_dir() non-compliance with XDG spec (#45771)

Closes #41373

Release Notes:

- Ensures that XDG specs are followed on MacOS and Linux with backwards
compatibility.

Changes
-Added ```state_dir``` to get XDG_STATE_HOME on macos and linux, no
change to windows.
-Changed ```text_threads_dir``` to a fallback,
```text_threads_dir_fallback```
-Re-implemented ```text_threads_dir``` to use ```state_dir```
