[et-mgmt-tools] cobbler: right place for custom kickstarts

[Riggs, Ben]

Generally, the custom kickstarts are in /etc/cobbler/custom/, but they 
certainly don't have to be. Just specify the path in the profile and you 
can put them wherever you want. Avoid putting them in /var/www/cobbler/, 
however, as it is self-cleaning.
