Title: Allow user to define `live-root-dir'.

Hey Sam, I hope everything is in order. (This is my very first time doing this (a pull request).)

BTW, I don't have any tests to give you with this. I can only proffer a bald assertion that it works for me just fine, as I outlined in the forum message. Is this the best way to update the code to have a user-defined `live-root-dir`? I don't know.

Here's something to think about. Will this change break any other script/code? A candidate for breakage, for instance, might be the script `packs/update-live-packs` which has hardcoded paths, like `~/.emacs.d/packs/live`. (I went to the root of emacs-live and executed a `grep -R '~/.emacs.d' *` to reveal this. There are many more grep hits, but most if not all may not be problems at all.)

Thanks! —Rick
