Use either "_directory_path" or "_file_path" for related variables

Description

In retroarch.cfg, directory variables end with "_directory", "_dir", or sometimes even "_path". This confusing since file variables names also are using "_path". So, for the sake of consistency, it would be simpler to only make them end with either "_directory_path" or "_file_path".

Expected behavior

Alternative variables that can be used in addition to the current variables:

# File paths

# Replace "_path" with "_directory_file_path"

content_video_history_path = content_video_history_file_path

You can find this information under Information/System Information

• RetroArch: 1.17.0 Appimage

Environment information

• OS: GNU/Linux
• Compiler: [In case you are running local builds]

Start by locating the retroarch.cfg definitions and the source usages for the listed _dir, _directory, and _path variables. Check how configuration aliases are parsed and whether existing names must remain supported; done means the proposed *_directory_path and *_file_path names work consistently without breaking current configurations.
