mc installs as root with root-only permissions under Sierra. So when mc runs as user, it can't save anything — at Initial Version

Description

Basically, all installed config files and directories are created rw(x)------ and so you can any save anything about a mc or mcedit operation when "sudo mc". The install does set things up in the user folder, but the permissions are wrong.

This is compounded by mc claiming it is saving things in ~/.config/mc, when it is actually trying to save to ~/.local/share/mc

Made it pretty hard to find out WTF was going on.

Folders should be created with the username with rwx------ or with root rwxrwxrwx

Config files should be created with the username with rw---------- or with root rw-rw-rw-
