[Bug]: install on zsh, when zsh not at default location ~/, ignores $ZDOTDIR

[excelfreak]

What did you expect to happen?

I expected it to work after running the install script. I expected the install script to honor the $ZDOTDIR environment variable to see where zsh related files are located.

What happened?

The script created a .zshrc file in my home root folder with the entry to start it, although the .zshrc file lives somewhere else. After adding the entry to start atuin in my actual .zshrc file it worked.

Similarily the history import couldn't find a .zsh_history file as it is located somewhere else. After I copied the history file to the home root folder ~/ the history import worked fine
