[code-quality] ~/.config/flake8 not recognized

[Brent Goodrick]

At http://flake8.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/configuration.html I see:

Note that *Flake8* looks for ~\.flake8 on Windows and ~/.config/flake8 on
Linux and other Unix systems.

But only ~/.flake8 seems to be read.

bash-4.1$ flake8 --version
3.3.0 (mccabe: 0.6.1, pycodestyle: 2.3.1, pyflakes: 1.5.0) CPython 2.7.6 on
Linux

My system is a RHEL6.8 Linux machine:

bash-4.1$ cat /etc/issue
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.8 (Santiago)
Kernel \r on an \m

Is this a bug in the documentation? I do not see it as a problem to have it
be in ~/.flake8.
