Problem description

The default directory for caching datasets is currently ~/.xarray_tutorial_data: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/225868d232219440b188956531d5764ff4cd1b53/xarray/tutorial.py#L15

This doesn't follow the XDG standard on Linux, and AFAIK isn't actually invisible on Windows.

Expected Output

It would be better if this followed the XDG standard, i.e., ~/.cache/xarray_tutorial_data (or some other places if you've set some environment variables) and something like %LOCALAPPDATA% on Windows. There are packages like appdirs that handle all this for you.
