Feature: Executables and installers output dir should be customizable

[tensor-programming]

This is possible, we would have to add a feature flag and a output directory environment variable. I could cover the Rust side of things. Just need someone to add the simple JS/JSON stuff.

I hit this same problem since my target-path is different to default.

I have all the rust-targets at /rust/target/

Currently the tauri build fails for me with following info.

$ yarn tauri build
yarn run v1.22.4
$ /rust/tauri/node_modules/.bin/tauri build
[tauri]: running build
 app:spawn Running "cargo tauri-bundler --features embedded-server --release" +0ms

There should be a way in the tauri-config to set another target-dir.

We should revisit this.

Looks like an issue with the bundler, probably not following all of the Cargo output folder alternatives (env vars, config etc), so it's kind of unrelated to the original issue and should be tracked separately.

@vhelke your use case will be supported on the next release, see #895

Thank you for reporting it!
