PuffinPlot can crash while shutting down if a it tries to save
a large number of files to the ‘recent files’ list: the length of
the string exceeds the maximum allowed by AbstractPreferences.put.
Solution should be simple: currently the full path of each file is
written separately; this could be shortened hugely by writing it
as parent directory followed by leafnames. For even better compression,
we could extract the longest common prefix and suffix, but it's
unlikely to be necessary.

Fixed as specified. Crash is still theoretically possible with 
sufficiently large number of files, but far less likely.
