Prevent cookiecutter from using ~/.cookiecutter_replay #1857

@rmartin16

Description

@rmartin16

Describe the bug

By default, Cookiecutter will store replay data to files in ~/.cookiecutter_replay. Briefcase does not need this replay data but its creation cannot currently be disabled.

Steps to reproduce

Run briefcase create; see ~/.cookiecutter_replay directory.

Expected behavior

The replay directory can currently be specified in Cookiecutter's configuration file via replay_dir. Therefore, Briefcase could specify such a file and create the replay data in its own cache directory.

Alternatively, Cookiecutter could be updated to avoid creating this data altogether.
