Bugfix: Fix issue with paths that have similar content getting skipped

The bug:

Say, the user selected resource location was path = ~/.local/share/krita3 and the AppDataLocation returns writableLocation = ~/.local/share/krita. When we do path.startsWith(writableLocation) -- this returns true, when it shouldn't because krita3 isn't built up on ~/.local/share/krita.

The solution:

Add a trailing separator to AppDataLocation, this will ensure that we are comparing the right thing.

Test Plan

Change the reosurce location to something which is similar to AppDataLocation, trying changing the resources in that location (I tested changing Canvas Input Profile), restart Krita and check if the right config/resource is loaded.

Formalities Checklist
