Setting RABBITMQ_BASE on Windows vs. setting  #1582

Description

The documentation here: https://www.rabbitmq.com/relocate.html

Suggests that you can set RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE and RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE instead of setting the (windows-only) RABBITMQ_BASE:

"Note: Windows only. This base directory contains sub-directories for the RabbitMQ server's database and log files. Alternatively, set RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE and RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE individually."

However, if you don't set RABBITMQ_BASE, it will default to APPDATA/Roaming/RabbitMQ and specifically write the db directory and enabled_plugins file there, whilst honoring whatever you set RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE and RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE to.

This needs to be clarified better (i.e., indicate it not as "Alternatively" but as additionally).
