Requirement for specifying a path for every ReShade effect additionally to reshadeIncludePath about vkbasalt HOT 2 OPEN

Very simple and basic hack (see reshadeEffectsPath part):
#45 (comment)

Will be implemented properly someday, maybe.

I wrote a patch to simplify ReShade configuration while maintaining backwards compatibility. With it all you need to specify is the shader name in effects and the path to the reshade-shaders folder in reshadePath (the folder must contain "Shaders" and "Textures" subdirs).

You can specify the shaders with the .fx extension or not. If a conflict in name arises in the future the vkBasalt effect will take priority so using .fx is probably better, and it's clearer that it's a ReShade shader.

e.g.:

effects = monochrome
reshadePath = /usr/share/vkBasalt/reshade-shaders

Using reshadeIncludePath and reshadeTexturePath to specify the Shaders and Textures directories still works and are higher priority than reshadePath.
I also added a reshadeShaderPath option for specifying the Shaders dir because it's name makes more sense to me (it is lower priority than reshadeIncludePath though).

And you can still specify the shader with the full path i.e:

effects = monochrome 
monochrome = /usr/share/vkBasalt/reshade-shaders/Shaders/Monochrome.fx

This will use the monochrome option as the shader path if it begins with / and otherwise concatenate it onto the include path. (The include path being the "Shaders" dir you specify with either reshadeIncludePath, reshadeShaderPath or indirectly with reshadePath).

For all cases the effect path is also tried with .fx added on if it failed at first.

And finally the settings for reShade shaders are now specified using the shader name as the prefixes (so they don't clash + better readability) e.g:

effects = Technicolor
Technicolor_Strength = 1
