Cylc install: Shortcut to `--flow-name=basename`
Describe exactly what you would like to see in an upcoming release
In the original Cylc install proposals it was suggested that
cylc install a/b/c
should install into ~/cylc-run/c. At some point this behaviour got changed to installing ~/cylc-run/a/b/c and the consensus in #4643 seems to be to keep this behaviour.
For user convenience it my be handy to have a shortcut to cylc install <path> --flow-name=$(basename <path>). It could be called cylc install --flat

Low priority because:
Adding this feature wouldn't alter existing user work patterns but add an extra option.
Pull requests welcome!
