Unity 8 does not honor Path= in desktop files

[Jamie Strandboge]

Click packages use Path= in desktop files and its use is an important part of how click packages work.

For example, this works in Unity 7:
Exec=aa-exec -p com.ubuntu.developer.jdstrand.evilapp_evilapp_0.1 -- /usr/bin/qmlscene -I backend/modules app/evilapp.qml
Path=/opt/click.ubuntu.com/com.ubuntu.developer.jdstrand.evilapp/0.1

but in Unity 8, Path= is not honored and qmlscene can't find backend/modules or app/evilapp.qml and the desktop file needs to be adjust to use:
Exec=aa-exec -p com.ubuntu.developer.jdstrand.evilapp_evilapp_0.1 -- /usr/bin/qmlscene -I /opt/click.ubuntu.com/com.ubuntu.developer.jdstrand.evilapp/0.1/backend/modules /opt/click.ubuntu.com/com.ubuntu.developer.jdstrand.evilapp/0.1/app/evilapp.qml
Path=/opt/click.ubuntu.com/com.ubuntu.developer.jdstrand.evilapp/0.1

Click shouldn't be transmogrifying the paths in Exec= (and currently doesn't), so application developers need to hard code the path in the Exec= themselves, which we should not be doing because click can be configured to use a different top level directory than /opt/click.ubuntu.com.
