Describe the bug

When ASDF_DATA_DIR is not defined (thus, we are using the default, as defined in https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf/blob/master/docs/manage/configuration.md#environment-variables), asff alias can't find any plugin.

Steps to reproduce

  • install asdf, not setting explicitly ASDF_DATA_DIR variable
  • install asdf alias (asdf plugin add alias)
  • install asdff java plugin (asdf plugin add java), as an example
  • launch asdf alias on java plugin (asdf alias java --auto)
  • message asdf alias: The plugin 'java' could not be found is shown and plugin fails

Expected behavior

No action is expected from plugin (since no version of java is installed via asdf, yet), but also no error.

As stated in #7 (review) , using a library function from asdf, such asdf_data_dir, would be better than directly referring the environment variable.
