#14174: ./configure --datadir=data and game "data" folder conflict

 I have noticed this while testing
 https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/demos/scumm/ft-dos-demo-en.zip.

 Basically configure any backend with --datadir=data, make && make dist-
 generic, add game ft-demo and watch... a segmentation fault!


 {{{
 ./scummvm
 WARNING: Couldn't initialize text to speech through speech-dispatcher!
 User picked target 'ft-demo' (engine ID 'scumm', game ID 'ft')...
    Looking for a plugin supporting this target... SCUMM [v0-v6 games, v7 &
 v8 games]
 WARNING: SearchSet::add: archive 'data' already present!
 NutRenderer::loadFont() Can't open font file: icons.nut!
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
 }}}

 Apparently, scummvm realizes that "data" has been already added to the
 search set (the system one) and skips the "data" for given game, therefore
 leading to a crash because a font file has not been found.

 I can imagine that if scummvm expands every relative path to an absolute
 one before adding to the search set (in runtime) would fix this kind of
 issues.
