Allow for custom NWM cache dir #164

Right now it only allows True or False to be specified for cache argument of NWM config. This limits user to using home directory. On an HPC, a user might want to try and set a path on scratch to be the location where the NWM data is cached.

As noted in https://github.com/schism-dev/pyschism/issues/123, adding custom path still doesn't solve the issue of need for internet access
