Update ipython_magic.py

[lambdadotjoburg]

Check whether local_path provided by output_file is not absolute, in which case make path relative_to curr-ent directory, otherwise provide user flexibility to specify where media_embed is to be retrieved from, outside of relative path

Overview: What does this pull request change?

added the check at lines 159-161:

                local_path = Path(config["output_file"])
                if not Path(config["output_file"]).is_absolute():
                    local_path = Path(config["output_file"]).relative_to(Path.cwd())

This allows the user to retrieve media from outside the project root, for embedding into the .ipynb view

Motivation and Explanation: Why and how do your changes improve the library?

The current state of the ipython_magic.py file does not allow discovering media outside of the project root for embedding into the .ipynb view. The proposed changes addresses this defect.
