Config file location changed in nextdns version 1.43.0 update

Hi,

I have used NextDNS DNS53 to DoH proxy for several years. Last night I had automatic system updates scheduled and this morning DNS services didn't work at all. After some investigation I found that NextDNS DNS53 to DoH proxy had loaded some default configuration from unknown location.

I'm running proxy in two server Fedora 39 and Fedora 40. Until now proxy has stored the configuration to

/etc/nextdns.conf

for several years. But after the 1.43.0 the configuration file was now relocated to

/config/nextdnsnextdns.conf

I found this new location after modifying the config by "nextdns config edit".

Fedora doesn't have any other configuration files in /config/ directory. Why this location has changed without any notice and why configuration wasn't copied from previous location to new one as part of the proxy update?

    Seems that there is now nextdns 1.43.1-1 bugfix release which returns back to /etc/nextdns.conf naturally it didn't cleanup the /config dir and files the previous update made there.
