Relativize paths to aux files #4736

Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
When a group based on an aux file is created, JabRef stores the absolute path to the aux file. This makes it hard to use the feature across different computers.

Describe the solution you'd like
Introduce "LaTeX folder" in Library properties similar to the UserFileDirectory (which signals where the pdfs are stored). All aux paths should then be relative to this data folder (when the user leaves the path field in the group editor or after a file was selected through "browse").
(note: the introduction of a LaTeX folder might appear somewhat of an overkill on first sight, but it is also essentially for the latex integration project)
