Replace Enigma2 relative paths with skin relative paths

Issue #204 wontfix
IanSav created an issue

To improve skin flexibility and to make skin customisation easier could the next firmware update please have all "easy-skin-aus-hd/..." paths replaced with the skin relative version of "~/..." in all skin files. When the path changed from "easy-skin-hd/..." to "easy-skin-aus-hd/..." it was very difficult to detect real changes from the path changes. Using skin relative paths would eliminate this complication and stop it from ever happening again.

    Unfortunately, although skin relative paths are documented, they are only half implemented and cause all sorts of crashes when they are used. I have attempted to fix this and even though I could get as far as getting a large proportion of the GUI working with skin relative paths, it turns out that this simply can not be completely solved because of: * embedded skins - they have no path * third party plugins and other components, such as Renderers. These would have to change their API to support this feature.
