Bug Description

When building base with 3.13 compatibility support (COMPAT_TOOLS_313=YES, COMPAT_313=YES) and INSTALL_LOCATION other than $(TOP), the 3.13 style $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/config/tools directory is missing.
Old 3.13 style extensions (e.g. StripTool) need $(INSTALL_LOCATION)/config/tools/makeMakefile.pl.
The 3.14 style configure/tools is installed, however.

Additional information:
I have seen this bug on a linux-x86 host in 3.14.7 and 3.14.8.2. It is probably in all 3.14. releases.

Since config/tools/makeMakefile.pl is installed to $(INSTALL_BIN) and 3.13 extensions look for $(EPICS_BASE_TOOLS)/makeMakefile.pl, a change in config/CONFIG_COMMON fixes the problem:

< EPICS_BASE_TOOLS = $(EPICS_BASE)/config/tools
> EPICS_BASE_TOOLS = $(EPICS_BASE_HOST_BIN)

Changes were committed to base so that config/tools files are installed
into INSTALL_LOCATION/config/tools instead of INSTALL_LOCATION/bin/<arch>.

Changes were also committed to base/config/CONFIG_BASE so that config will use the INSTALL_LOCATION setting from a configure/RELEASE file. Previously INSTALL_LOCATION would have to be set by the user in both the config and configure directories. These changes will appear in R3.14.8.3 and later releases.
