Description

When trying to run `ipcluster` for testing in a temporary directory, `~/.ipython` still gets created.

```bash
rm -rf ~/.ipython
mkdir /tmp/tmp5aa3_zqu
ipcluster start --profile=testing1 --n=2 --ipython-dir=/tmp/tmp5aa3_zqu
```

```bash
$ tree ~/.ipython/
/home/mforbes/.ipython/
`-- profile_default
|-- db
|-- log
|-- pid
|-- security
`-- startup
`-- README
```

Shouldn't `--ipython-dir` prevent this? (I don't want my tests creating files in someones home directory).

Note, this is very minor: `/tmp/tmp5aa3_zqu` is used for all the important stuff.
