Introduce Wazi Deploy Config and Work directories

Wazi Deploy currently requires users to define their own strategy to maintain deployment configurations and work directories.

I would like to see a simplified approach leveraging standard config and work directories: 

Maintain a configuration directory such as /etc/wazideploy/conf directory for

  • logging configuration
  • tool configuration - such as the default encoding for output files
  • the default deployment method, 
  • the default artifact configuration file,
  • custom templates in a /templates directory 

This should leverage a WAZI_DEPLOY_CONF environment variable.

Maintain a default work directory ex.: /var/wazideploy/work  that is set up during the default installation/config process where the logger by default write into, and what is used as a temporary working directory (instead of having to pass this as a CLI option).

This should leverage a WAZI_DEPLOY_WORK environment variable.

This would allow to reduce the number of CLI parms required for the various Wazi Deploy commands.
