[FEATURE REQUEST] - Re-Locate Game Installation Button #2118

Description

@Slipskip

What problem does the feature request solve?
There has been cases of users failing to start modded instances of their game due to having moved their games install to a different folder and/or drive and due to the mod manager not automatically detecting the change often leaves them confused as to why the game boots into a completely vanilla state.

This usually leads to them seeking assistance in community channels and being slowly directed on how to correctly identify where their game has actually been installed or coming to the conclusion that the mod manager doesn't work and either giving up or changing to a different mod manager which accidentally fixes their issue as fresh or re-installs of a mod manager automatically try to find a games path on first boot.

A one click solution in the [Debugging] tab that instructs the mod manager to clear and re-locate the games current install path similar to how it detects a games path when the mod manager is first installed with the games already installed on the system prior would simplify the troubleshooting process either for the user just using the feature straight away or for community members that can just direct them to the button on the mod manager straight away without having to potentially teach them on how locate the game install location.
