Document TRITON_HOME (triton-lang#4210)
Document the existence of `TRITON_HOME` environment variable. The `TRITON_HOME` variable controls the location of the `.triton` directory that stores, among other things, the files downloaded during a `pip install -e python` virtualenv build. By default, this is located in the user's home directory, at `~/.triton`. I was trying to build Triton on my system on a large local disk, but with limited network home directory space, and the `pip` command kept failing with out of disk space errors. It turned out that during installation, large files were downloaded to the `~/.triton` directory causing failure. After checking that it was not `pip` doing this, I found the `TRITON_HOME` variable which allowed me to workaround the issue and build Triton successfully. After seconding triton-lang#4007, I decided to contribute this documentation fix. Co-authored-by: sree <sree@buckyball>
