Customizable working directory

[vinci1it2000]

Add an option for selecting where to place the working directory (.co2mpas). It could be during the installation or adding a setting menu so it can be specified after the installation.

An alternative could be to move the working directory .co2mpas inside the installation path (it could be also the package folder), so the user can uninstall co2mpas and all sensitive data once deleting the installation folder.

To create the CO2MPAS_HOME variable, so you can use in the rest of your code, you can add the following code in the init file and create a new directory home in the library folder

import os
import os.path as osp
CO2MPAS_HOME = os.environ.get('CO2MPAS_HOME', osp.join(osp.dirname(__file__),  'home'))
os.environ['CO2MPAS_HOME'] = CO2MPAS_HOME 

Note the latest solution is not the best approach but it works and should be fast to integrate.
