ledger-live: Linux symlinked data dir broken after updating to 2.45.1

Describe the bug

On Linux, I have my Ledger Live data dir symlinked to a different location. It worked properly until updating from 2.43.1 to 2.45.1. As of 2.45.1, as soon as I attempt to login to Ledger Live, it nukes the symlink, replacing it with a file, which causes Ledger Live to fail to launch. Detailed repro steps below.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. On Linux, ln -s "/some/other/location/" "~/.config/Ledger Live"
2. Download Ledger Live 2.43.1 AppImage (or any earlier version).
3. Open LedgerLive & setup/use as usual. It works as expected, with the data residing in /some/other/location.
4. Now download & launch Ledger Live 2.45.1 AppImage.
5. When you enter your password, it says “The password entered is incorrect” (it isn’t), and immediately nukes the symlink: ~/config/Ledger Live is replaced with a textfile containing some json

(at this point you can, of course, delete the new ~/config/Ledger Live textfile, recreate the symlink, and resume using previous versions of Ledger Live. But 2.45.1 will not function.)

Expected behavior

Launching Ledger Live 2.45.1 AppImage should work properly with its data symlinked to another location, as did all prior versions
