Title: #182: Use env var IPA_CONFDIR to get confdir for 'cli' context

tiran commented:
"""
It's explained in the title. The ```-e confdir=/path/to/confdir``` only works for ipa command. The env var affects all ```cli``` contexts including custom Python script that use ipalib and ipaclient libs directly.

Also it is much easier to set an env var in a shell session than to add a lengthy argument to every call of the ```ipa``` command.
