[Feature] Relative Path Support #57

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I prefer to keep all installs portable and paths relative as it relates to emulation, for easy sharing and setup between devices. To me, that's the point of using RomM + Playnite in the first place, as close to a "one click" solution as possible. As of now, the playnite plugin doesn't support relative paths for the platform "destination paths" fully. Relative paths work as far as the install, but aren't realized to actual paths when launching games, so the emulators can't load them. That means if I share my install to another device, I have to manually remap every platforms destination path to a new path.

Describe the solution you'd like
Hopefully, some internal code that checks for a relative path and resolves it fully before handing it to the emulator.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, give us a master "roms" path and allow us to map locally within that destination, so re-routing all the platforms would be as easy as changing the master path.
