Make safe filename safe to use on POSIX #44

Closed pombredanne closed 2 years ago

pombredanne commented 2 years ago

This enables handling safe paths treating some extra characters as safe on POSIX. In particular this ensures that we can treat the colon ":" as safe for use in file names on POSIX only. This will allow correct processing of system files in ScanCode.io and ExtractCode

@JonoYang Do you mind to add a few tests so that we can merge this?

@pombredanne I've added some test code that checks to see if portable_filename preserves or replaces the valid POSIX path characters.
