Use gameinfo.txt to pull external paths

Since a lot of people use gameinfo.txt so that hammer can find their external resources, it would be helpful for the program to do the same

Instead of making the program look for those files individually each time you load a map, I suppose you could also save the paths of the VPK files and other directories in a parsable format like JSON like I did here and then check where Steam is installed through registry and let the user decide what game the program will export assets from.

That is an awesome idea, I didn't know about the libraryfolders.vdf file! I will definitely have to take a closer look at that, thank you
