Pull request overview
This PR fixes a critical bug in standalone mode that was introduced by PR #6098. The bug prevented xrpld from starting in standalone mode when the database directory didn't exist, causing crashes with "unable to open database file" or filesystem errors.
Changes:
- Restored logic to clear the data directory path when running in standalone mode without an explicit database_path configuration
- Changed directory creation condition from checking if NOT in standalone mode to checking if the data directory path is not empty

Seems to resolve the issue of the directory not being created at startup

When support was added for `xrpld.cfg` in addition to `rippled.cfg` in #6098, as part of an effort to rename occurrences of ripple(d) to xrpl(d), the clearing and creation of the data directory were modified for what, at the time, seemed to result in an equivalent code flow. This has turned out to not be true, which is why this change restores two modifications to `Config.cpp` that currently break running the binary in standalone mode.
