Sanitize strings in run_pycistarget

[alexlenail]

the run_pycistarget wrapper function contains a few occurrences of a line like this one:

scenicplus/src/scenicplus/wrappers/run_pycistarget.py

Line 212 in 61c17c8

out_file = os.path.join(out_folder, str(x) +'.html')

Which doesn't work if your celltype includes special characters:

  File "/lab/solexa_weissman/lenail/tools/scenicplus/src/scenicplus/wrappers/run_pycistarget.py", line 247, in run_pycistarget
    menr['CTX_'+key+'_No_promoters'][str(x)].motif_enrichment.to_html(open(out_file, 'w'), escape=False, col_space=80)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/lenail/solexa/mouse_brain_aging/ATAC/pycisTopic/hippo/pycisTarget/CTX_DARs_No_promoters/L2/3 IT CTX_young_VS_L2/3 IT CTX_old.html'

My hacky solution locally was just:

out_file = os.path.join(out_folder, str(x).replace('/','_') +'.html')

But in general, str(x) should be replaced with sanitize(x)
