core: Move /tmp/hypr to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/hypr (#5788)

Moves the directory containing sockets and logs.
Also restructures lockfiles a bit.

For consumers, check if `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/hypr` exists. If so, use it. If not, use the old `/tmp/hypr`.

 ## Obtaining the Hyprland log
 If you are in a TTY, and the hyprland session that crashed was the last one you launched, the log will be printed with
 ```
-cat /tmp/hypr/$(ls -t /tmp/hypr/ | head -n 1)/hyprland.log
+cat $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/hypr/$(ls -t $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/hypr | head -n 1)/hyprland.log
 ```
 feel free to send it to a file, save, copy, etc.
 
 if you are in a Hyprland session, and you want the log of the last session, use
 ```
-cat /tmp/hypr/$(ls -t /tmp/hypr/ | head -n 2 | tail -n 1)/hyprland.log
+cat $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/hypr/$(ls -t $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/hypr | head -n 2 | tail -n 1)/hyprland.log
 ```
