Description
Today, we only have a samples directory in the user lmms directory.
A good thing should be to be able to add several paths for this:
lmms/samples ; ~/samples (this one is in my home directory), ...
I know I can locate these samples via the file directory icon, but for organisation, having the samples in the same place is easier.

Research direction
Start by tracing how LMMS currently discovers the user lmms samples directory and how the file directory icon locates samples. Compare the existing location with the requested lmms/samples and ~/samples paths, then determine how multiple configured paths should be stored and searched. Done means samples from each configured directory are available through the normal sample workflow.
