If there is a gmt.conf file at the top directory where movie or batch is launched then we will copy that file into the temporary directories used to running all scripts, including the preflight and postflight scripts.

Description of proposed changes
This PR seeks to let batch and movie be able to use any gmt.conf files found in the directory when these commands are run.

Thus, we must actually place the gmt.conf file in all the directories where the scripts are run form. The algorithm implement is this:
The documentation has been updated and also points out that users cannot use the preflight script to create a gmt.conf since it will be created in a hidden directory that is deleted upon completion.
