Use a better directory when installing code via the update manager in a multi-site setup

This a continuation of #605272: Use a better directory when installing code via the update manager (documentation followup) β†’ : I have a multi-site setup where all sites live under sites/sitename. When I try to use the update manager to install a new module it tries to install it to sites/all/modules which is not write-able. Ideally this should be either configurable on a per site basis or maybe it should figure out that sites/all/modules is not write-able and try installing to sites/sitename/modules. Please.

For sake of completeness here the error screen from the update manager:

Installation failed! See the log below for more information.
panels

    * Error installing / updating
    * File Transfer failed, reason: Cannot create directory /var/www/share/drupal/web/drupal-7.0/sites/all/modules/panels.
