   Put directory names in the github xml files such that they are updated for windows/linux

   • Replace all occurrences of "/home/runner" in the aap_parameters_defaults_Github files with "$HOME"
   • Add parameter_xml_env_var_replace() to trigger_install.py, and call it in the main() there before do_install()

   def parameter_xml_env_var_replace():
       """Platform-indepent replacement of environment variables in the source parameter xml
   
       Path specifications in the parameter xml use environment variable references because
       paths are different on the different runner platforms. However, environment variable
       references themselves are also platform-dependent.
   
       Replace specific unix-style environment variable references in the parameter xml file
       with the value of the environment variable on the current runner platform, to produce
       a parameter xml file without env var references."""
   
       var_workspace = os.environ['GITHUB_WORKSPACE']
       var_par_xml = os.environ['PARAMETER_XML']
       # TODO: check that home is also ok on windows.
       var_home = os.environ['HOME']
   
       # Read in the file
       fname = os.path.join(var_workspace, '.github', 'workflows', var_par_xml)
       with open(fname, 'r') as file :
           filedata = file.read()
   
       # Replace $HOME with its value
       filedata = filedata.replace('$HOME', var_home)
   
       # Write the file out again
       with open(fname, 'w') as file:
           file.write(filedata)
