IMO the best place is TEXMFHOME/texdoc/texdoc.cnf.
Looks sensible to me, but see below.
The directory "scripts" should contain the scripts themselves (like
texmf/scripts).
Agreed.
Don't know whether TEXMFHOME/texdoc.cnf is appropriate.
No config files at the top level of a texmf.
A site-wide config file doesn't make much sense, except in a
single-platform environment. In this case the admin can put it into
TEXMFLOCAL.
Therefore, the best thing would be to actually look for
$TEXMF/texdoc/texdoc.cnf, where $TEXMF is already defined to be the
standard sequence of trees. I.e., expand that with kpse and take the
first result. Or maybe concatenate all results.
FWIW ...
