Make `targetDir` absolute by default

When serving a `../` as directory (with `-l`), servefile creates an
endless 301-redirect loop. Having an absolute path fixes this. Since
this error might come up any time again, we're setting `targetDir` to
its absolute path right from the beginning and never have to worry about
it later on.

-Servefile
-=========
-
-Serve files from shell via a small HTTP server. The server redirects all HTTP
-requests to the file, so only IP and port must be given to another user to
-access the file. Its main purpose is to quickly send a file to users in your
-local network, independent of their current setup (OS/software). Besides that
-it also supports uploads, SSL, HTTP basic auth and directory listings.
-
-Features:
- * serve single file
- * serve a directory with directory index
- * file upload via webinterface
- * HTTPS with on the fly generated self signed SSL certificates
- * HTTP basic authentication
- * serving files/directories as on request generated tar files
-
-Install
--------
-
-Via pip
-```shell
-pip install servefile
-```
-After installation either execute `servefile --help` or `python -m servefile --help`
-
-Standalone:
-If you don't have pip available just copy `servefile/servefile.py` onto the target machine, make it executable and you are ready to go.
-```shell
-$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sebageek/servefile/master/servefile/servefile.py -O servefile
-$ chmod +x servefile
-$ ./servefile --help
