dvsim sometimes erases the current directory

[Timmmm]

If cov_db_dir is empty (which it is for Verilator), then dvsim will both crash with an exception about . not being a valid path, and it will recursively delete the current directory. That really is what Python does by default. Mental.

And yeah Path("").exists() is True! I'm struggling to think why that makes any sense.

Anyway fix here, I think. It may not be complete but it works for me: df68de6
