[aquaria] Save game path for mods on unix

[Andrew]

Yeah, I was previously using my own workaround for the keys described here.

And for the paths, yeah you can put a symlink to /Users (for OS X, might be different on Linux) inside the mod's graphics folder.

So both problems can be worked around but it's much nicer to have these fixed in the game :-)

Normally these can only be set with numpad keys but modern Macs lack any functional numpad and it's impossible to set the effects without special software to input the numpad signals. It was a bit of a hack to implement this but it should be okay.

The problem is that the secondary texture path (the mod's graphics folder) is being prepended to the path to the save thumbnail when it tries to load it. My fix prevents that from happening for absolute paths.
