Git-friendly relative directories in TestedApps

We have handled this a few ways.  We have used relative paths and project variables.  The TestedApp object properties can also be changed at run time.  You can use a search with the aqFileSystem object to find your app path in the file system and then update the path in the TestedObject.  We have used a script to pull the paths from the registry and set the TestedApp paths at run time. 

This was needed for running apps in a pipeline because the pipeline installer uses a different path (written in the registry) depending on the run and the VM it is on.
