These files are used to extend your environment when you install to a
prefix not on the system path (~/install, /opt/ros/groovy/, etc...).

I do not think you can move them, but you can disable them, we do this on
our buildfarm when building debians:

https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/bloom/blob/master/bloom/generators/debian/templates/rules.em#L28

By setting 'CATKIN_BUILD_BINARY_PACKAGE=1'  you indicate to catkin that it
should not generate any of the setup*, env*, or .rosinstall/.catkin files.
