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

jcholast commented:
"""
Care to point me to some actual standard which recommends this? Using explicit configuration via library initialization arguments is no NIH, everyone else does it as well and it is a solution we already have in place.

Still zero examples to support you claim that environment variable is a must.

EDIT: There is no link to your proposal here nor is there a thread on freeipa-devel. I would be glad to read it but please follow our process for new feature designs.
