The old (commented-out) `get_app_dir()` override gated on
`'pytest' in sys.modules` which can NEVER work in spawned
subactors (fresh procs, no pytest import); as a result test
`paperboi`/daemon actors were writing into the user's REAL
`~/.config/piker/accounting/` files.. friggin yikes.
Deats,
- add `config._maybe_use_test_dir()` which lazily (at
conf-path access time, NOT import time) reads the
`piker_test_dir` entry from
`tractor.runtime._state._runtime_vars['piker_vars']` as
pre-loaded by `open_piker_runtime()` from the
`tests.conftest._open_test_pikerd()` overrides.
- hook it in `get_conf_dir()` and route `get_conf_path()`
+ `load()`'s mkdir through `get_conf_dir()`.
- route `.accounting._ledger` / `._pos` dir derivation
through `config.get_conf_dir()` (was reading the
`_config_dir` global directly, bypassing the override);
also `mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)` for nested
tmp-dir creation.
