fix: resolve relative folder paths against anime dir in delete_series

The folder column in anime_series stores the relative folder name
(e.g. 'Beyblade Burst (2016)'), not an absolute path. The old
delete_series code called os.path.abspath(folder_path) directly,
which joins a relative path against the process current working
directory. Inside the container the FastAPI app runs with CWD=/app
while the anime directory is /data, so 'Beyblade Burst (2016)'
resolved to '/app/Beyblade Burst (2016)' and the is_safe_path check
correctly (but unhelpfully) flagged it as outside the /data base,
skipping the folder delete while still removing the row.

Fix: resolve relative folder paths against the configured anime
directory before validating against the base. Absolute paths still
work unchanged.

Also harden is_safe_path() the same way so a relative target is
treated as relative to base_path, not to the process CWD. Path
traversal ('../etc/passwd') is still rejected.

Adds two regression tests:
- is_safe_path with chdir to '/' and relative target resolves
  against the base
- delete_series with chdir to '/', relative folder in DB,
  succeeds and removes the folder
