Allow subproject dirs in subdirectories in the source tree again

The previous change disallowed any subdirectories for subproject dirs,
and therefore broke a couple of projects making use of that.
This change still prevents people from setting subproject dirs that are
not in the project's source tree, while allowing to specify any path
within the project's directory again.

Resolves: #2719
