An api which can help us get assets folder path

[XMNXofficial]

An New API

Source(In hello_imgui_assets.cpp)

    std::string GetAssetFolderPath() {
        std::string a = FileUtils::GetCurrentDirectory();
#if defined(__ANDROID__)
        a+="/";
#else
        a += "\\";
#endif
        a += gAssetsSubfolderFolderName;
        return a;
    }

How to use

    ImGui::Text("%s", HelloImGui::GetAssetFolderPath().c_str());

I know, the assets API is a bit complex. However, there are up to four possible different locations for the assets folder, as shown by computePossibleAssetsFolders(), and they are all tested in succession when trying to look for an asset:

1. gOverrideAssetsFolder (valid only if it was filled by manually calling SetAssetsFolder())
2. Current executable folder + "/" + gAssetsSubfolderFolderName (gAssetsSubfolderFolderName = "assets" by default)
3. Current working directory + "/" + gAssetsSubfolderFolderName
4. "/" + gAssetsSubfolderFolderName (emscripten only)

In practice, it will mainly vary between 3 and 4.

As such, providing GetAssetFolderPath() is not that easy.
