This one should be easy!

Shiny new PathManager tweaks mean saved files can end up in several different places depending on exact OS (and the optional -homedir command line parameter). As a quick bit of user help I think we should display said path where it makes sense, like the create / load world screens.

Contributor friendly :-)

Optional bonus: Small button to open (or even change?) said directory in the default directory browsing tool for the OS, if that's easily doable (somewhat have my doubts on this part ...)

We will implement this functions at the Launcher.

Instead of opening the dir in the default explorer, you can also copy the path the the clipboard. Not as elegant, but easier and more generic.

Bump - had another user (on Mac) hunt for the data dir for a bit. Reminded me of this.

Ideally we'd implement the directory swap only in the launcher, but I think we should list the path in both cases (and include it with debug info sent by #670) somewhere in the UI
