Allow the Cylc run directory to be configured
Closes #7410
Summary
Allow the
CYLC_RUN_DIRenvironment variable to override the standard$HOME/cylc-runworkflow run root.The default remains unchanged when the variable is unset.
Changes
CYLC_RUN_DIRin local and remote workflow path construction.CYLC_RUN_DIRover Cylc-managed SSH commands.This differs from
[install][symlink dirs]: symlink configuration moves workflow data but retains the canonical namespace under$HOME/cylc-run.CYLC_RUN_DIRmoves that namespace itself for sites where home directories cannot be used for workflow runtime state.Testing
cylc installplaces a workflow underCYLC_RUN_DIRand thatcylc validatefinds it there.Check list
