Need API to retrieve path of current extension

[mikechambers]

I am working on an extension where I need to dynamically load a style sheet from my extension folder into brackets.

Currently, in order to do this, you either need to hard-code the path, relative to brackets root, like so:

<link href="extensions/user/BracketsMarkdownExtension/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

or get the current extension directory with the following code:

console.log(module.uri.replace("main.js", ""));

We should provide a cleaner API to get the current directory path for an extension.

We should probably have this API anyway, but FYI the specific use case of dynamically loading extension stylesheets is on the backlog: https://trello.com/card/extension-stylesheets/4f90a6d98f77505d7940ce88/494

Yep. I also need it to dynamically load HTML files into iframes.
