openHAB directory is not relocatable

[dottedmag]

openHAB writes absolute paths to userdata and hence moving its directory is not trivial (one has to do something like seding the userdata).

oH sets the directory to the absolute path here:

openhab-distro/distributions/openhab/src/main/resources/bin/oh2_dir_layout

Line 35 in 14a9fd1

export KARAF_DATA="${OPENHAB_USERDATA}"

Here's an example from my test installation:

% grep -r /Users/dottedmag . | grep -v logs

Note that majority of these are keys felix.fileinstall.dir and felix.fileinstall.filename — can these be fixed en masse? There are few other absolute paths:
