mtuq.download_greens_tensors output path requested

[aileen-fisher]

Reqest ability to modify GFs output path. Writing files within the mtuq install folder becomes a problem on a multi-user system where not everyone has write permissions to that path.

@aileen-fisher,

Does an environment variable approach work for you? I believe the syngine download path can be specified through the environment variable SYNGINE_CACHE, but we could work on making it more robust (checking path existence, checking write permission, better documented) or implementing something else altogether. Please let us know if you have any preferences.

Actually, perhaps a little added documentation would be helpful. SYNGINE_CACHE doesn't seem straightforward to find from just a Google search, or perhaps I'm not looking in the right places. Would you mind forwarding me your SYNGINE_CACHE reference just so that I have it? Aileen

Right now, it's just an undocumented feature implemented here:

Let me think about if a more robust approach is possible.
