Add support for loading sourcemods via symlinks (or changing search folders) #4179

Sourcemods sadly cannot be loaded from different folders than the default steam library folder.

On Windows you can create junctions to eg. have your games on the HDD, steam on SDD and make steam load the sourcemods from the SDD.

Sadly this does not work with ln -s in Linux.

So there should be an option to search for sourcemods in different folders or at least support symlinks.

This actually works normally if you symlink the sourcemods folder itself rather than the mod folder.
