Moving the module in the file system breaks configured fonts

Problem/Motivation

Moving the module around in the file system breaks image captchas because it can no longer the fonts that it set on hook_install().

Proposed resolution

Possibly use a placeholder in default config that is resolved on lookup instead of the hook_install( )code, e.g. %image_captcha_module%/fonts/...

If core would have added support for drupal-module:// streamwrapper then that could be used, but unfortunately...

    For moving the captcha_image module, an update hook has been implemented in: #3321861: Change image_captcha submodule and test modules location. →

    The general problem described here is "by design" and can only be solved by changing the design (reasonable) or individually by updating the locations after moving the module (which would be wrong to automate).

    If we decide not to change the underlying design, a workaround solution for such cases could be a button to reset / rebuild the default paths or adding inputs for the font paths, prefilled with the defaults?
