To customise Bento package definition, we need config file somehow.

1. Inside default Houdini config directory.
   Ex: config/Bento/bento_config.ini

2. Load from Environment Variable
   Ex: BENTO_CONFIG_PATH

Currently there's no way to change environment variables for each cache path. It'll be better to be changed by some UI.

Since Houdini 16 uses upgraded PySide using Qt5 called PySide2. Bento GUI control files have to be upgraded to support it(Currently Cache Manager is a subject).

Default python panel style is like just matched only with Houdini Theme colours but it doesn't support whole styles.
For instance, only inserting PySide widget into python panel doesn't adjust the row hight.

This should be fixed for improving UX.
So I think we should create style sheets for this improvement.

Environment variables such as $HIP & $JOB are useful but sometimes we want to open the directory with system default finders.

Maybe due to Qt version or setParent style in H16, Main Menu is not displayed and the tree widget occupies whole panel.

To manage every tools that has different version for each in same version of Bento repo, I think I should handle all tools as a submodule for Bento. So we are going to be able to handle each tools much easily and safely.

Currently Cache Manager UI updating as getting nodes info is just on single-threaded process. So the UI updating runs after its core process.

To make this tool more less stressful UX, the process should be multi-threaded.
