Yarn doesn’t always respect disable-self-update-check

What is the current behavior?
Since yarn got support for the XDG base dir specification, I moved my ~/.yarnrc to ~/.config/yarn/config.

I have the following configuration file:

"--emoji" true
disable-self-update-check true
prefix "/home/remco/.local"

I know this works, as emoji are working. However, I noticed that ~/.yarnrc keeps getting generated again with the following contents:

# THIS IS AN AUTOGENERATED FILE. DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE DIRECTLY.
# yarn lockfile v1

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.
Create a ~/.config/yarn/config as described above, and run yarn.

What is the expected behavior?
No ~/.yarnrc should be generated

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

$ node --version
v10.13.0
$ lsb_release -a

It' same in Windows. I always see %USERPROFILE%\.yarnrc.

Apparently not all options are read from ~/.config/yarn/config. Issue #2334 is still open and a previous attempt on fixing it is abandoned #2954.
