The Nextcloud pi drive device is based upon snappy ubuntu core. Snaps are squashfs images which by definition are read-only. This makes the Nextcloud config read-only as well, which greatly limits its usefulness. This commit introduces support for hosting the config out of the main application (in the case of the snap, in a writable area so the rest of the application can remain read-only). It does this by using the environment variable `$NEXTCLOUD_CONFIG_DIR `. If it's set, it is used as the config directory. If not set, it uses the default `<root>/config/`.

I think this is a duplicate of #660 and I like the other one more. Maybe the setup controller thing is missing over there. |

@MorrisJobke oh! You're completely right, I'm sorry! I'll go ahead and close this, though note that the snap makes use of the SetupController.php change (it looks like the other PR author knows about this and is working on it). |

$NEXTCLOUD_CONFIG_DIR. If it's set, it is used as the config directory. If not set, it uses the default<root>/config/.Note that this is fairly well-tested, but I can't pretend to have hit every code path that uses the config. There may be a better place to put this code. If so, please let me know.
