Fix a potential memory leak in file transfer (COVESA#126)

* Fix a potential memory leak in file transfer

This potential memory leak in dlt-system-filetransfer.c can happen if only a filename
is passed to dirname(). In the current implementation of dlt-daemon, this issue cannot happen.
But in case of refactoring or different usage there is a chance that it can be triggered.
