Close #219 by letting the SerialDataCollector write to / by default, too.
Follow-up to the change in 1.3.0 for the PDC (see #173).
Needed by several users to fulfill the openPMD standard with serial files where they actually want to write to pathes starting from /.
This PR already contains a change log since this will be the only change from the todays 1.3.1 release to go to 1.4.0. Reading old files needs manual tuning for global attributes: API increased to 1.4.0 and file format bumped to 4.0 since the changes in SDC are not backwards compatible without chaning the interpretation of the write/readGlobalAttribute API calls.
