Adjust to Nautilus not showing the full path of folders in Stretch

Affecting:

  • doc/first_steps/persistence/copy.mdwn

In the page regarding copying of the persistent volume we say: “In the file browser, navigate to /media/amnesia/TailsData to open the old persistent volume.”
It’s a bit difficult to navigate to that location without having an address bar to copy the location into and Nautilus is just showing a “relative” path in the address bar, e.g. when accessing an external volume (e.g. it’s just “TailsData” in this particular example).
I’m proposing to simplify the documentation to just click on the volume “TailsData” in the left panel of Nautilus for accessing it directly. (doc/encryption_and_privacy/secure_deletion already describes it in a way similar to this)

For locations relatively to / (e.g. /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked) I propose to describe something similar to “Choose Places -> Computer -> /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked”.
