Description:

The `nim doc` command causes an exception to be thrown due to folder paths incorrectly initialized for the layout in the nim package.

`nim doc` by default assumes support files such as `nimdoc.css` to live in `../doc` from the location of the nim executable. This works fine if running directly from the build tree, but needs to be adapted by modifying config.cfg for a package within the system directory layout. Relevant variable seems to be conf.prefixDir, but I was unable to set it successfully via a /etc/nim config file or compiler flag.

Steps to reproduce:

pacman -S nim
cd /tmp
touch foo.nim
nim doc foo.nim

Actual output:

Hint: used config file '/etc/nim/nim.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: used config file '/etc/nim/config.nims' [Conf]
Hint: used config file '/etc/nim/nimdoc.cfg' [Conf]
....Traceback from system (most recent call last)
Error: unhandled exception: No such file or directory
Additional info: "/usr/doc/nimdoc.css" [OSError]

Expected output:

Hint: used config file '/etc/nim/nim.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: used config file '/etc/nim/config.nims' [Conf]
Hint: used config file '/etc/nim/nimdoc.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: 22665 lines; 0.138s; 20.652MiB peakmem; Debug build; proj: /tmp/foo.nim; out: /tmp/htmldocs/foo.html [SuccessX]

I can confirm that this also happens on my system. Also, /etc/nim/nimdoc.cfg contains "$nimdoccss", but that might be unrelated. Replacing it with /usr/share/nim/doc/nimdoc.css does not help.
