Description
A long standing issue in the linux world (at SNS) is that we would like to have two copies of mantid installed on a machine and have them play nice together (read: ignore each other). Here is the proposal for how to do that.
- Allow for "MANTID_ROOT" to exist in the various properties files (i.e. Mantid . user . properties). This will make it so users to have one properties file work for multiple installations. This will be determined by introspection rather than an environment variable.
- For directories in the mantid properties file, see if they start with the path listed by "MANTID_ROOT" and replace the string accordingly.
- Work on installers. Linux being the highest priority. Maybe not even worrying about mac or windoze for this release.
If there is something that I really need to watch out for, let me know. I'm also holding an open contest (without a prize other than pride) to name the variable that will exist only in properties files.

When running mantid you know where the plugins are supposed to exist relative to the MantidPlot executable. Just set the environment variable.

Moved environment scripts to inside the install directory. Refs #4264.
By default they now go in /opt/mantid/etc and get symbolic links in RHEL. The links will need to be done in ubuntu as well, but that isn't top priority.

Since the scripts need to be identical for both mantid and mantid_vates some checks were made before removing links.
