server: don't allow '/' in basename

Server stack needs to have all the sort of validation, assuming
clients can be compromized. It is possible for a compromized
client to send basenames with paths with '/', and with that
create files without permission on server. By sanitizing the basename,
and not allowing anything other than actual directory as the parent
for any entry creation, we can mitigate the effects of clients
not able to exploit the server.

Fixes: CVE-2018-14651
