[PATCH 01/16] Override ROOT_PATH with environmental variable

From: "Brian C. Lane" <bcl at redhat.com>

Normally ROOT_PATH is "/mnt/sysimage", but with dirinstall it would be
nice to be able to install to arbitrary directories. This lets the path
be overridden by the ANACONDA_ROOT_PATH environmental variable.

Resolves: rhbz#1113535
