Details:

When Match is asked to make two files with a given output filename, it will
ignore the directory of the output.

This is because it is using the standard `gal_checkset_automatic_output'
function which is designed for making an output filename from the input.
Therefore, as described in Automatic output
<https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuastro/manual/html_node/Automatic-output.html>,
it will ignore the directory of the input name by default. 

However, Match can have two output file names (when the output is requested to
be a text file). In such cases, it also uses `gal_checkset_automatic_output'
to generate the (new) output file names and that is why this issue came up. 

I am now busy fixing it.
