[MCPE-238790] Particles with format version >= 1.20.80 give erroneous content log errors when using a texture file not in the "textures" folder

The bug

When a particle file has a format_version set to 1.20.80 or greater, and it uses a texture file outside of the textures folder, the particle works correctly, but an erroneous content log error is printed on world load:

[Json][error]- -> description -> basic_render_parameters -> texture:  Invalid asset path font/default8

How to reproduce

Enable the content log
Download and open the attached world
Run /particle test:test2

Expected result

No content log error is printed

Observed result

Despite the particle working perfectly fine, a content log error is printed claiming the texture is invalid
