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).

Use "appinfo" instead of "appname" in the examples to make it clear that it
may be different from just the application name.
Also make UseAppInfo() documentation more clear.
See #11275.

The change in the values returned by wxStandardPaths functions is important as
it's incompatible with 2.8 if the application defines a vendor name so must be
mentioned in docs/changes.txt.
Also update the documentation of the class itself and mention UseAppInfo() in
the overview.
Closes#11189.

This function allows to get the location of Windows shell special folders not
covered by wxStandardPaths methods (yet), e.g. CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY.
