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 most 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 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).
