Require that configure is run from MOOSE_DIR

This moves `configure` from the framework directory into the root package
directory and then checks during its invocation whether its being run
from the root. If not, it errors.

 ## Customizing MOOSE configuration
 
 MOOSE can be customized by running a `configure` script in
-`$MOOSE_DIR/framework`. Below we summarize the configuration options available:
+`$MOOSE_DIR`. Note that the `configure` script *must* be invoked from
