/**
 * @brief Dedicated class for storing path to input and output files.
 *
 * FilePath objects are constructed from given absolute or relative path to the file and its type (input or output).
 * Before you create any instance of the class you have to call static method @p set_io_dirs to set:
 * - working directory of the program (when it was started)
 * - root input directory, i.e. directory of the main input file (given by -s parameter)
 * - input directory, used to replace ${INPUT} placeholder (given by -i parameter)
 * - output directory, where all output files should be placed (given by -o parameter)
