      Add support to build system to allow bundling resource files (via list or globs), so that they can be accessed by binaries after installation.

      Such process should be compatible with all target platforms, where installation folders for data may be different (like /var vs /bin)

      A main use case for this feature is ability to read data files when running tests.

      Without this feature a workarounds are:
      a) assume that tests run in gitroot folder (currently used by unit tests)
      b) embed the resource files as static StringData resources in .h/.cpp files. (like JSHeader)
