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

"""
For a long time FreeIPA ignored Python packaging guidelines. It did neither support pip and wheels nor virtual envs or local configuration. There is pressing demand from multiple projects like OpenStack and Ansible to support proper Python packages. Ask @rcritten, @admiyo 

@mbasti-rh the proposal is **not** just about command line scripts. It's for Python applications that use ipalib, too. You are free to come up with another solution that works for all use cases.
