Terraform Root module Folder

The terraform-boot application must have access to the root module folder under which each sub-folder is a module used per API request.

The default root folder where all module sub-folders will exist is the temp folder of the user running the server.

This configuration can be changed by updating the terraform.root.module.directory property.
