use different ipfs repos about orbit HOT 5 CLOSED

We can have IPFS_PATH for dev, but also have a settings page (for UX) to config the location of the IPFS Repo, such that if it doesn't find one on the default path, it will prompt the user, or if it finds, the users will be able change on the settings screen.

IPFS_PATH is supported by ipfsd-ctl and now by Orbit. Fix still in a branch but fixed.

After the fix, you can run Orbit with IPFS_PATH=/tmp/ipfs-data2 node index.js which should be enough for development.

This should now be possible with IPFS_PATH. Fixed in master.

+1 to @diasdavid's suggestion that there should be a way to configure this
in the UI itself? but prob not worth doing for a while

I don't think Orbit's settings are the right place to do such config. From user's perspective, well, they don't care where the repo is, or what a repo even is. To me this sounds purely a dev feature. Let me know if you disagree, though.
