Forking sbt-server should allow some control over JAVA_HOME #298

some users do not want to use the PATH version of java to run sbt-server. We should allow specifying a JAVA_HOME so the forking which is done is done via some JAVA_HOME parameter.

@dwijnand Ironically, that's not the issue here, that won't even solve this problem :) The JDK is chosen before we even load .sbt configuration or are able to use the set command.... Still glad to see you fixing issues like that.

Setting javaHome is a lesser part of that fix, the more important part was prepending JAVA_HOME/bin / JDK_HOME/bin to PATH.

Setting javaHome actually broke sbt.ScriptMain too :(
