Chef Workstation installs gems to a "chefdk" directory

Description
When I run chef gem install <gem-name> the gem gets installed to ~/.chefdk/gem/.... This caused me a bit of confusion as I thought I had Chef Workstation installed and not ChefDK. I then started troubleshooting to see if I had some remnants leftover from my previous ChefDK installation which may have been causing gems to install to ~/.chefdk.
I dug into the code and found the source of my confusion at chef-workstation/omnibus/files/rubygems-customization/default/operating_system.rb:#L20
Looks like the project still has a number of hardcoded references to .chefdk.
Can we have those references updated to .chef-workstation? Or better yet use ::ChefUtils::Dist::Workstation::DIR_SUFFIX from the chef-utils gem?
