Overview
--------
This fixes a recent regression in which `xml/GenCode.php` fails to execute in certain configurations.
Initial report: https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-buildkit/issues/503
Before
------
* If the folder `l10n` exists in its traditional location, and if you run `./bin/setup.sh -g`, then it
correctly executes.
* If the folder `l10n` does not exist in its traditional locacation, and if you run `./bin/setup.sh -g`,
then it fails with an error like this:
```
+ php -d mysql.default_host=127.0.0.1:3306 -d mysql.default_user=dmasterciv_abcde -d mysql.default_password=

After
-----
You can run `./bin/setup.sh -g` with or without the `l10n` folder.
Comments
--------
There's an argument to be made that this shouldn't be necessary: when running
`GenCode`, it should only create PHP files, and none of the output should depend
on the CMS URL - because that's liable to change when you deploy the PHP code.
If someone did try to generate URL at such an early stage, it's arguably good to
generate an error. In point of fact, `GenCode` is not actually using the CMS
URL.
The oddity stems from the contract of `CRM_Utils_System_*` (specifically,
`getCiviSourceStorage()` and `getDefaultFileStorage()`) which do double-duty
providing both path and URL. To avoid duplicate work, `Civi\Core\Paths` uses
the same grain of information - it tracks the pairs of path+URL.
A more aggressive fix might be to split `getCiviSourceStorage()` and
`getDefaultFileStorage()` so that it's possible to get the path and URL
separately; then revise `Civi\Core\Paths` to take advantage of the finer-grained
contract. However, splitting those things would be a more invasive patch,
and we're currently in RC.
