Fix embedded asset path manipulation (#10383)

# Objective

Fixes #10377

## Solution

Use `Path::strip_prefix` instead of `str::split`. Avoid any explicit "/"
characters in path manipulation.

---

## Changelog

- Added: example of embedded asset loading
- Added: support embedded assets in external crates
- Fixed: resolution of embedded assets
- Fixed: unexpected runtime panic during asset path resolution

## Migration Guide

No API changes.
