Sanitize a filename by removing directory paths and invalid characters
path_sanitize() removes the following:
Unix reserved filenames (. and ..)
Trailing periods and spaces (invalid on Windows)
Windows reserved filenames (CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2,
COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2,
LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9)
The resulting string is then truncated to 255 bytes in length
path_sanitize(filename, replacement = "")
