Add a WX_APPNAME_DATA_DIR hack for wxStandardPaths::GetDataDir().
Applications using wxStandardPaths::GetDataDir() to find their files under Unix can't be ran without being installed as they look for their data files under $prefix/share/appname. Make it possible to override this location by setting WX_APPNAME_DATA_DIR environment variable to allow running them without installation. Notice that this shouldn't present any security risk unless the application is SUID (which would be a very bad idea anyhow). git-svn-id: https://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk@62337 c3d73ce0-8a6f-49c7-b76d-6d57e0e08775

Return the location of the applications global, i.e. not user-specific,

Example return values:

- Unix: @c prefix/share/appinfo
|

- Windows: the directory where the executable file is located
|

- Mac: @c appinfo.app/Contents/SharedSupport bundle subdirectory

Under Unix (only) it is possible to override the default value returned

from this function by setting the value of @c WX_APPNAME_DATA_DIR
|

environment variable to the directory to use (where @c APPNAME is the
|
||||
upper-cased value of wxApp::GetAppName()). This is useful in order to

be able to run applications using this function without installing them
|

as you can simply set this environment variable to the source directory
|

location to allow the application to find its files there.
