Module overrides with core ModuleHelper

[reilldesign]

Currently only two layouts are supported for the mod_jem (legacy & responsive layout). it would be very useful if other overrides were also possible with the help of the Joomla core ModuleHelper.

Old
require(JemHelper::getModuleLayoutPath($mod_name));

New
require ModuleHelper::getLayoutPath('mod_jem', $params->get('layout', 'default'));

You can choose 2 layouts and you can do custom by override a module layout.
Each JEM module searches in these paths and order, for example mod_jem when responsive layouts is active in JEM setting:

/templates/cassiopeia/html/mod_jem/responsive/default.php
/modules/mod_jem/tmpl/responsive/default.php
/templates/cassiopeia/html/mod_jem/default.php
/modules/mod_jem/tmpl/default.php

JEM hasn't Joomla layout, the layouts are internal by global setting, but it's true that it could change to Joomla layout. In that case, there are to change code in several parts of the modules, but it could be viable (tested) to the improvement in low priority. You have to scale it to see the convert /modules/mod_jem/tmpl/responsive/default.php to /modules/mod_jem/tmpl/responsive.php
