Replace GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT environment variable with WMAKER_USER_ROOT

Browse Source 
As reported in Debian bug #922284 [1]:

    As evident from the prefix, GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT is a GNUstep variable and
    Window Maker should not set it.  Furthemore, it has been deprecated for
    12 years already.  As of gnustep-make/2.7.0-4 the GNUstep build system
    is configured in strict v2 mode which makes it impossible to compile
    GNUstep software.  In a terminal started from a Window Maker session:

    yavor@aneto:/tmp/gorm.app-1.2.24$ make
    This is gnustep-make 2.7.0. Type 'make print-gnustep-make-help' for help.
    Running in gnustep-make version 2 strict mode.
    rm -f InterfaceBuilder; \
    ln -s GormLib InterfaceBuilder
    /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/config-noarch.make:121: *** GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT
    is obsolete.  Stop.

    It is also impossible to build gnustep-make from pristine upstream
    source:

    yavor@aneto:/tmp$ wget -q
      ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core/gnustep-make-2.7.0.tar.gz
    yavor@aneto:/tmp$ tar xzf gnustep-make-2.7.0.tar.gz
    yavor@aneto:/tmp$ cd gnustep-make-2.7.0/
    yavor@aneto:/tmp/gnustep-make-2.7.0$ ./configure
    ...
    yavor@aneto:/tmp/gnustep-make-2.7.0$ make
    config-noarch.make:121: *** GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT is obsolete.  Stop.

    Note that the majority of GNUstep users use Window Maker as their window
    manager and many of them build GNUstep software from source, mostly
    because of the GNUstep Objective-C runtime which depends on Clang
    (Debian packages use GCC and the GCC/GNU runtime).

Our solution is to replace the GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT environment variable with our
own environment variable, WMAKER_USER_ROOT.  This is documented in NEWS.
