MAHOUT-1794: Support MAHOUT_WORK_DIR environment variable
Support MAHOUT_WORK_DIR environment variable in examples to allow user to specify an alternate scratch/temp space instead of the defined one. This will allow users in some environments without local drives or with small /tmp mounts to still run the examples.

> Key: MAHOUT-1794
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1794
> Project: Mahout
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Examples
> Affects Versions: 0.11.1
> Reporter: Albert Chu
> Priority: Minor
>
> In many of the example scripts, a directory in /tmp (e.g. /tmp/mahout-work-dir) is created for use as temporary scratch space, such as to store data files that are downloaded.
> In a number of HPC environments, /tmp may not exist or /tmp may be very small b/c local disk drives don't exist. It'd be convenient to be able to specify an alternate directory to use as scratch space.
> Pull request via Github to be sent shortly.
