- The `sanitize_path_options` functions remove all trailing
and leading spaces. So any valid directory like ` 123`,
`123 ` can not be used
- Also if there are two directories ` 123` and `123`, and if
user pick the ` 123` as option to `-d` or `-t`, then stow pick
directory `123` as the argument instead of ` 123` as user want.
```
STOW_DIR=. stow -n -v3 -t \ 123 456
stow dir is /tmp/test
stow dir path relative to target 123 is ..
cwd now 123
cwd restored to /tmp/test
cwd now 123
Planning stow of package 456...
Stowing contents of ../456 (cwd=/tmp/test/123)
Planning stow of package 456... done
cwd restored to /tmp/test
WARNING: in simulation mode so not modifying filesystem.
```
- This commit remove the check in `sanitize_path_options` function,
and now stow can work with those directories. There have been a check
for valid directory, so we are safe.

README for GNU Stow
===================
This is GNU Stow, a symlink farm manager program which takes distinct
packages of software and/or data located in separate directories on
the filesystem, and makes them appear to be installed in the same
place. For example, /usr/local/bin could contain symlinks to files
within /usr/local/stow/emacs/bin, /usr/local/stow/perl/bin etc., and
likewise recursively for any other subdirectories such as .../share,
.../man, and so on.
This is particularly useful for keeping track of system-wide and
per-user installations of software built from source, but can also
facilitate a more controlled approach to management of configuration
files in the user's home directory, especially when coupled with
version control systems.
Stow is implemented as a combination of a Perl script providing a CLI
interface, and a backend Perl module which does most of the work.
You can get the latest information about Stow from the home page:

Brief history
-------------
Stow was inspired by Carnegie Mellon's "Depot" program, but is
substantially simpler. Whereas Depot requires database files to keep
things in sync, Stow stores no extra state between runs, so there's no
danger (as there is in Depot) of mangling directories when file
hierarchies don't match the database. Also unlike Depot, Stow will
never delete any files, directories, or links that appear in a Stow
directory (e.g., /usr/local/stow/emacs), so it's always possible to
rebuild the target tree (e.g., /usr/local).
