[com_fields] Media field Directory option does not follow Media > Options settings for Path

[frogydiak]

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Change the default media path (/images) under Content > Media > Options to whatever, I changed it to assets.

2. Create a User Custom Field Media and click on Directory option.

You will see the directory option will still lists all the default files and folders under /images.

Expected result

The directory option should have respected the path set in Media > Options.

Actual result

Still defaults to images which is the Joomla default.

#16413 is about imagelist custom field, I'm pointing on the image and files folder set in the media options.

@jwaisner Yes it is I believe, if not just media field, all custom fields when applicable defaults to /images folder.
