Added extra information about extracting the files from the retail CD / expansion CDs. I only have wacky worlds to test with.

### Extracting data from the expansion packs
After using unshield on e.g. the Wacky Worlds expansion pack CD, you should not just copy/paste the extracted files over the base game.
Instead, in the "Common" folder of the expansion pack (should be folders containing Scenarios/, ObjData/, Tracks/) copy those folders into the base game's Minimum folder. Allow it to overwrite files in the base game.
# Letting OpenRCT2 know the game path
On first launch of OpenRCT2 it will launch a dialog box asking you to provide a path of your assets. On Linux it will use either `zenity` or `kdialog`. It will fail if these are not available.
- You should give it the path of the "Minimum" folder if you extracted files from the CD
- The path you give it should contain folders like Data, Landscapes, ObjData, Scenarios, and Tracks
If it fails or you would like to change the path used, you can use the `set-rct2` command:
```
openrct2 set-rct2 /your/path/to/data
