[BUG] Cannot save to the root directory #814

Description

@stannam

Describe the bug
PCT crashes without warning if the user tries to save anything to the root directory '/.'

The root directory indicates the top-level directory in the file system hierarchy in macOS or Linux.

To Reproduce
Save anything (e.g., search results, exporting a corpus or transcription file) to the root. This raises an OSError.

Expected behavior
PCT should block users from doing that.

Operating system and PCT version

  • OS: all macOS and Linux
  • PCT version: 1.5.1
