This is part 1 of #912: it adds the option to specify where workspace-local state should be stored.
This value is defaulted to the current directory (which preserves the current behavior). The idea would be for a client host like Ionide to get a workspace-local value from the host IDE (in the VSCode context this comes from the extension's context during activation), and then flow that value down to FSAC.
The net user-facing benefit here would be to get the
.ionide
directory out of user view, since it doesn't contain anything that a user can actually do anything with.
