#64297: Allow "." as synonym for current port directory

-------------------------+--------------------
 Many shell commands use `.` to indicate the current directory. I often run
 commands like `git add .` or `git commit .`. It's only natural that from
 time to time I also end up trying to run `port` commands with `.`, such as
 `port lint .` but this currently gives an error:

 {{{
 Error: Port . not found
 }}}

 Might we allow `.` to indicate the current directory? MacPorts already
 operates on the current directory when no port name is specified, but
 since `git` defaults to operating on the entire clone rather than the
 current directory, I am now in the habit of specifying `.` on commands.
