[plt-scheme] no more "plthome.ss"

Continuing from the v301.13 announcement:

 http://list.cs.brown.edu/pipermail/plt-scheme/2006-April/012654.html

We have further purged the notion of "PLTHOME" in the current SVN
sources.

Instead of the "plthome.ss" library in "setup", a new "dirs.ss" library
provides functions like `find-main-collects-dir', `find-include-dir',
etc.

Installers still receive an argument in place of the old `plthome'
argument, but the argument is now the parent of the main "collects"
directory. If an installer needs to find, say, the "include" directory,
it should use `find-include-dir' instead of deriving a path from the
installer's argument.

For now, most directories are still found relative to the main
"collects" directory, but the paths will become configurable soon
(to allow configurable Unix installations).
