Description
We have ofSetDataPathRoot() .... it makes sense to have a Getter as well. Basically I wanted the absolute path to the root data folder.
I managed to fake this by calling ofToDataPath(".",true) but this seems a little counter-intuitive.

Research direction
Locate ofSetDataPathRoot() and ofToDataPath() in the openFrameworks source and inspect how they expose or resolve the data-path root. Add a getter for the absolute root path, then verify that it provides the behavior described in the issue and is consistent with the existing setter and path conversion.
