📄 Description

noblacklist directives prevent following ones from blacklisting the specified directory/file.

The profile currently has a noblacklist directive for each directory used by Steam and/or its games, which is fine.

However, there are no directives blacklisting the user's home, thus all directories and files inside it are accessible by Steam.

This pull request fixes the issue by adding whitelist directives, which automatically blacklist the parent directory (in this case the user's home).

mkdir and mkfile directives are added so that the directories/files are created if they don't exist.

Thanks to @SkewedZeppelin for suggesting to keep noblacklist and use mkdir and mkfile.
