vpython cache directory ENV

Project Member Reported by dgarr...@chromium.org, Oct 3 2017 
It would be convenient for ChromeOS if there was a way to direct where vpython caches it's downloaded files, instead of using a .file in the root of the git cache.

Perhaps, we could set and ENV to some value like .cache/vpython?

There are two caches:
1) "vpython" downloads CIPD packages. Those are downloaded alongside any other CIPD packages via "CIPD_CACHE_DIR".
2) "vpython" instantiates VirtualEnv. This can be controlled via "VPYTHON_VIRTUALENV_ROOT".

Is this what you were thinking?

Excellent, yes, I think it is!

I think they can probably be used for a better fix for the depot_tools bug we fought last week.

Oh I misunderstood you. You're asking if there's a way to control where the "vpython" (and other CIPD tool) *bootstrap* downloads its files. ATM there is no such way.
