Description of the change

As an alternative to the more brutal lp:~tseaver/zconfig/shell_escape_hatch, this
branch pre-defines a single value, 'here', as the parent directory of the main config
file. PasteDeploy provides existence proof that even that single value is enough to
permit admins to do useful "dead reckoning" from the config directory, e.g. to configure
log or var directories in a relocatable way.

Pre-define 'here' to allow dead-reckoning from the config file.
