(Mar 12,2014,0.2.12) Gerolkae, Adapted Paths to work with a Supplied path

(June 1, 2016) Gerolkae, Added possible missing Registry Paths for x86/x64 Windows and Mono Support. Wine Support also contains these corrections.

Theory check all known default paths check localdir.ini

then check each registry hives for active CPU type

Then check each give for default 32bit path(Non wow6432node)

then check Wine variants(C++ Win32 client)

then check Mono Versions for before mentioned(C#? Client)

then check default drive folder paths

If all Fail... Throw FurcadiaNotFoundException exception

Clients Should check for this error and then ask the user where to manually locate Furccadia
