[PATCH] feat(zkbd): make zkbd do its magic in the specified directory

Hi guys,

I've been trying to segment my stuff as per XDG guidelines and zkbd 
insisted on packing their output in $ZDOTDIR/.zkbd which I did'nt like.

I'd like to add a -d switch to zkbd to allow the user to specify a 
directory of their choosing as the output dir of zkbd.

I'm debating whether a better approach would be a parameter, for
congruence with e.g. ZDOTDIR itself, HISTFILE, etc.

OTOH compinit provides a bit of precedence for using -d like this.
