Title: for tests change the default xml data dir 

to a place where it will get cleaned up

As currently coded (sorry about this, blame me), all jenkins workers are now writing to temp dirs under /tmp which could be growing without cleanup.

This way it would instead of being created under /tmp, be created under test_root, which will get cleaned up before the next build when the git clean gets executed.
