Subject: [PATCH]    1. add `get_env` and `has_env` functions to
 `ostap/utils/basic.py` to check/access environment variables in
 case-insensititve way    1. make use of `get_env` and `has_env` functions
 alsmost everywhere insted of `os.environ`    1. small reshuffle of code
 between `ostap.core.core` and `ostap.utils.basic`    1. first step towards
 usage of `ipyparallel` for parallel processing: ad trivial test
 `test_parallel_ipyparallel.py`    1. make use of `ipyparallel`
 parallelisation    1. add `Ostap::Math;:agm` and `Ostap::Math::ghm` fuctions 
   1. improve `ostap/parallel/parallel_ipyparallel.py`    1. improve printout
 from `ostap/core/config.py`    1. add `$OSTAPDIR/.ostaprc` in the list of
 configuraiton files for processing    1. provide `$OSTAPDIR/.ostaprc`
 configuration file    1. more reshuffling of the code for generic and
 specific parallelisation    1. more polishing for the updated configuration  
  1. more polishing for the configuration

   1. rename `Parallel` section in configiration files into `Pathos`
   1. rename and move some `pathos` specific code from `ostap/parallel/utils.py` to `ostap/parallel/pathos.py`
