NullPointerException if output file is specified without parent path #33

Description

@rsenden
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at com.fortify.vulnexport.spi.target.vuln.consumer.to.file.stream.MultiOutputStreamFactory$MultiOutputStream.createFileOutputStream(MultiOutputStreamFactory.java:88)
	at com.fortify.vulnexport.spi.target.vuln.consumer.to.file.stream.MultiOutputStreamFactory$MultiOutputStream.<init>(MultiOutputStreamFactory.java:79)
	at com.fortify.vulnexport.spi.target.vuln.consumer.to.file.stream.MultiOutputStreamFactory.createOutputStream(MultiOutputStreamFactory.java:53)
