 When adding Custom Link with URL value
 ../
 and saving the menu, WP changes the URL to
 http://../

 Referring to the parent directory is therefore impossible.

 As this IMHO is a valid "URL" for referring the parent directory, there´s
 no need to (I guess) "sanitize" the field value into a "valid" URL
 (despite this, "http://../" is not even a valid URL).

 Same with ../dirname/ => http://../dirname/
