    @brief
        The PathConfig class is a singleton used to configure different paths.
    @details
        The class provides information about the data, config, log, executable,
        root and module path.
        It determines those by the use of platform specific functions.
    @remarks
        Not all paths are always available:
        - root only when installed copyable
        - externalData only for development builds in the build tree
