[issue362] add configuration option to menu for location of packages

[Casual J. Programmer at Labix Tracker]

New submission from Casual J. Programmer <casualprogrammer at yahoo.com>:

smart downloads all packages to /var/lib/smart/packages. On a tight system a
full update can (and will) block the system when performing a major update. The
typical user will not realize what is wrong, as filling up the disk does not
tell just who did it and where the blocking files are. The typical scenario is
that login as user is no longer possible and leaves you scratching head.

I therefore suggest two configuration options:

1. Make the cache path configurable from the menu.

2. Add an option to download and install packages successively, rather than
downloading all packages before starting to install.
