Link from most recent database directory first

Dirk HOFFMANN requested to merge github/fork/ederag/fix-database-links into master

Created by: ederag

Otherwise it might pick an unused hamster-applet/hamster.db (for some reasons it was not hard linked on my system Edit: that was due to file synchronization by unison) instead of the more recent hamster-time-tracker/hamster.db. The change to hamster-time-tracker has never been released, but it is few months old (9f345e5e), so it is nicer to early adopters to handle that correctly as well.

Check for hard links (the first numbers should be identical):

ls -il ~/.local/share/hamster*/hamster.db

Keeping old dirs may be useful to compare behaviors between versions.
