/// @page Resource Directory
///
/// This extension provides a way for the plugin to store its resources as file in a directory
/// provided by the host and recover them later on.
///
/// The plugin **must** store relative path in its state toward resource directories.
///
/// Resource sharing:
/// - shared directory is shared among all plugin instances, hence mostly appropriate for read-only
/// content
/// -> suitable for read-only content
/// - exclusive directory is exclusive to the plugin instance
/// -> if the plugin, then its exclusive directory must be duplicated too
/// -> suitable for read-write content
///
/// Keeping the shared directory clean:
/// - to avoid clashes in the shared directory, plugins are encourraged to organize their files in
/// sub-folders, for example create one subdirectory using the vendor name
/// - don't use symbolic links or hard links which points outside of the directory
///
/// Resource life-time:
/// - exclusive folder content is managed by the plugin instance
/// - exclusive folder content is deleted when the plugin instance is removed from the project
/// - shared folder content isn't managed by the host, until all plugins using the shared directory
/// are removed from the project
///
/// Note for the host
/// - try to use the filesytem's copy-on-write feature when possible for reducing exclusive folder
/// space usage on duplication
/// - host can "garbage collect" the files in the shared folder using:
/// clap_plugin_resource_directory.get_files_count()
/// clap_plugin_resource_directory.get_file_path()
/// but be **very** careful before deleting any resources
