    @brief
        The ApplicationPaths class is a singleton which provides static paths of the application.
    @details
        The class provides information about the executable, root and module/plugin path.
        It determines those by the use of platform specific functions.
    @remarks
        Not all paths are always available:
        - root only when installed copyable
