Title: Revert "Merge branch 'todb-r7-fix-msfupdate' into rapid7"

Hold off on this. The config dir option is more magical than first
expected, and didn't manifest with initial testing.

This reverts commit 44d7ab8ca28ae330230725f79646824742f99fbc, reversing
changes made to 114b7886fa1e31e39230e2f11aa3bcd3e30347a0.

Note that this does not appear to manifest in either svn checkouts, or in the Windows install. This seems to come up only for the Linux installer.

Note, the workaround is to pass --config-dir to msfupdate.
