script to easily start multiple independent digikam instances

Perhaps a better way to solve this is to allow different digikamrc files to be
used, like addressed in bug 377587.

However, in the meantime, a work around for this issue is to use independent
digikamrc files, which can be done by specifying a HOME envvar which uses a
directory appropriately structured which has a digikamrc file unique to the
database being used.  In Linux, the structure is that the the directory
specified in HOME must have a ".config" subdirectory containing the digikamrc
file.  It will be different for different platforms.  For clues to making this
work on other platforms go to
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstandardpaths.html#StandardLocation-enum and look at
the GenericConfigLocation path type for your platform.

Attached is a bash script that was tested with DK 5.4.0 to easily realize this.
