New description:
There are many places within the Sage library that make explicit
references to `SAGE_ROOT`, when `SAGE_LOCAL`, `SAGE_DATA`, etc. are more
appropriate. These references assume a particular directory structure
which unnecessarily break various components when using a different
directory structure (i.e. transitioning to git or sage-on-gentoo). This
ticket aims to correct many of these references.
This ticket also adds `sage.env` as a place to keep global used Sage
variables (these currently live in `sage.misc.misc`). Currently this file
does little more than separate out some of these variables, but the intent
is to provide a dedicated place in python for determining the environment
for the Sage library (this will eventually need to be independent of
`sage-env` if we are ever to truly transition to argparse).
Followup: #14226.
'''Installation Instructions''':
* apply attachment:trac13432.patch to the sage library
* apply attachment:trac_13432-fix_expect.patch to the sage library
* apply attachment:trac13432_root.patch to the root repository

Comment:
That was the place. I added a trivial patch to take care of it.
