Description

The whole gap_reset_workspace() idea is bad. It just doesn't make any sense at all! Here's what should happen.

1. When a new gap component is installed a file in <SAGE_ROOT> is touched.

2. When SAGE starts, if the user's local gap_workspace is older than the file in 1, then it is recreated.

That's it!

Done. The fix is to store the workspace in <SAGE_ROOT>/local/lib/ and only allow the admin user to change it. That's fine since it should only be changed when new packages are installed anyways.
