Subject: [PATCH] support customizing install directory with $DPATH

This introduces the $DPATH environment variable to override the user's home directory just for D tools.

This is also intended to be used by DUB (https://github.com/dlang/dub/pull/2281) when there is not the more explicit `$DUB_HOME` variable set on the system.

This allows users who install their D compiler through the install.sh script to both have the compiler installations as well as the dub packages be stored elsewhere in the system than in their home folder.

In case we have other tools that download their dependencies into the user's home directory, we should also make them support the same $DPATH environment variable.

+The `install.sh` script now respects the `$DPATH` environment variable
+
+The `$DPATH` environment variable can be set on any system to make the install location of the install.sh script as well as other D related tools like DUB to store their cache files, dependencies, installed compilers, etc.
+
+This way you can change where all the D tools are installed and keep a clean home folder.
