This commit adds a 'path' option to showOpenFileDialog by supporting it in the relevant conditional block in IPC.js. A special path "%appdata%", which would otherwise produce an error in the file explorer (so no conflict is possible), will resolve to the appdata directory of the current app.
This commit expands on the previously implemented '%appdata%' value for the 'path' option for "Open File" dialogs and allows it to be a prefix for arbitrary subdirectories under an app's AppData directory.
