I was verifying https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/FCREPO-984 and it
occurred to me that I don't know what we should be telling people
about the FEDORA_HOME environment variable anymore.

To my knowledge, the 3.5-SNAPSHOT behavior is that, during install,
the user is prompted for a Fedora home directory, and that value is
populated as the "fedora.home" servlet context parameter (as well as
being written to a couple files as necessary, like the JDBC url for
Derby, if used). And at that point, the value of FEDORA_HOME doesn't
matter to the running Fedora server.

So is FEDORA_HOME only really important to the server and client
scripts (stuff in server/bin and client/bin)?

And how is the value of org.fcrepo.common.Constants.FEDORA_HOME
populated when the Fedora webapp starts?
