Subject: [PATCH] fix: carry a profile destination into the truth

A profile states where the code reads a file as path: or destination:,
and the resolver reads both. The truth copied path only: redream's
dc_bios.bin, read at dc/boot.bin, reached the export with no path, so
System.dat's dc/boot.bin was not seen and a dc_bios.bin line was added,
and Batocera got bios/dc_bios.bin instead of bios/dc/boot.bin.
