Hello, Igniters.

There are plenty of options to store application files in linux:

* /usr/local/ignite
* /var/ignite
* /var/lib/ignite
* ~/.ignite/
* /opt/ignite/

Seems, ~/ignite/work (without a dot in the beginning) is not a Linux-way naming.

Postgresql use '/usr/local/pgsql/`
Mysql use '/var/lib/mysql`

I, personally, like '/var/lib/ignite'.
What do you think?

I don't think we should fix this case somehow.
If some application-provider uses embedded Ignite, it must do all configuration 
stuff inside application.

Ignite should provide reasonable defaults, that's all.
