expresslrs-configurator: init at 1.7.2

Description of changes

ExpressLRS Configurator is a cross-platform build & configuration tool for the ExpressLRS - open source RC link for RC applications.

When starting, electron complains about missing "devices" in app.asar. Maybe someone can guide me in the right direction to fix this :)

This is the error:

handling fatal error: Error: ENOENT, devices not found in /nix/store/rrb2ksvhh2dppdmp5f9zr59xhs8rmp94-expresslrs-configurator-1.7.2/share/expresslrs-configurator/app.asar

There is a devices folder in the resources folder of the electron app next to the app.asar:

 app-update.yml   app.asar   assets   devices   i18n   test

Closes #196193

Electron 27 is marked as insecure. Is the program not compatible with newer versions?

[asamonik]

I now upgraded to Electron 33 but it is throwing the same error with the missing devices folder. I am new to nix packaging and I am unsure how to investigate this error further. Thank you for your help!

I think you need to patch https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS-Configurator/blob/1408d1a7b573876a83fa989430d925fb90f39fe3/src/main/main.ts#L336 to point to the proper path in $out.
