Make Geant4 install relocatable

Benjamin Morgan requested to merge bmorgan/atlasexternals:relocatable-geant4 into master

This is a WIP to address the relocatability issues in geant4-config reported in ATLASSIM-3212

At present, it just adds a sanitizeConfig script that's copied from that implemented by @akraszna for XRootd. This is run post-build and just seds out the absolute path to clhep-config. That's just to confirm things run o.k. Next steps for discussion/implementation are:

  • What replacement for clhep-config should be used? Should it be ${SOME_ENV_VAR}/clhep-config or just clhep-config and rely on $PATH?
  • Similarly for the CLHEP libs entry
  • What other replacements should be done? The main other hard coded paths are to Xerces-C (uses cvmfs/LCG) and Geant4 data libraries.
