I'm working on my earlier proposal to use normalized uri's internally for all 
data store access.

This work lead me to make some small changes in gnc-filepath-utils.c and I 
noticed a comment near the beginning of the file that said that file shouldn't 
actually be in engine. That was one motivation but not the primary one.

Two things came together actually.
1. I am writing my new uri utilities in core-utils, which makes most sense to 
me. They are fairly generic, and useable in many parts of the source.
2. But at the same time, some of my new files depend on gnc-filepath-utils.c. 
The latter being in engine, that would create a circular dependency between 
core-utils and engine.

So the choice was to move my files into engine, which seems "not right" or 
moving filepath out of the engine. Since the comment already suggested the 
latter, I just did that.

With this move, I also had to move binreloc and gnc-path, because gnc-filepath 
depends on both. I think both are generic enough to be valid in core-utils.
