Back off plan to deprecate longstanding default paths. Folks can still opt-in to platformdirs, but there is little reason to change the defaults. Changing defaults is necessarily a long and sensitive process, and needs to come with documentation, support for migration, etc., none of which has happened in the long time since the proposed deprecation started.

Simpler approach: keep defaults, stop warning about them.

closes #309
