View->Storage: show current directory as rTorrent's cwd, not rtgui's

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What's been bugging me about rtgui is that it considers its own directory (the 
one in which it is installed) to be the current directory for all downloads, 
even though rTorrent disagrees very much on this.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add a torrent.
2. Click on the newly added torrent.
3. Click on the "Storage" tab.

What you see now is that rtgui seems to think the contents of the torrent will 
be downloaded in its own working directory, because rTorrent reports the 
download directory of torrents as '.' by default. That's counterintuitive, so I 
thought I'd give it a go and fix this myself.

Please find attached a patch with the proposed changes to fix this issue.

Upon further inspection, I realized that my patch does not work for torrents 
containing a directory (instead of a single file). So I have a new patch here. 
It might not be beautiful, and I'm open to suggestions as to how to make it 
better.
