Description
### Bug Summary
Carla (both rack and patchbay) doesn't load when clicking on the "show GUI"
#### Steps to reproduce
Clicking the "Show GUI" button in the synth menu
#### Expected behavior
Carla opens and loads correctly
#### Actual behavior
Carla doesn't open. Debug console displays
```
Trying to start carla-plugin using "//share/carla/resources/carla-plugin"
exec failed: No such file or directory
waitForClientFirstMessage() - read returned 0
```
#### Affected LMMS versions
1.2.2 64bit Linux AppImage downloaded from the official website

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure from the synth menu in the Linux AppImage and inspect the debug-console path for carla-plugin. Trace why it resolves to "//share/carla/resources/carla-plugin"; done means Carla opens and loads correctly for both rack and patchbay.
