Godot cannot create folder in "new project" dialog if there are invalid characters in the name and doesn't scrub input for folders

[AverseABFun]

Tested versions

• Found in v4.2.1.stable.official, likely reproducible in other versions

System information

Godot v4.2.1.stable - Windows 10.0.19045 - Vulkan (Forward+) - integrated Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 (Intel Corporation; 31.0.101.2111) - Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz (4 Threads)

Issue description

If you attempt to create a project with the name having invalid folder characters in the name and press "Create folder", then it will say "cannot create folder". If you manually make a folder without special characters(or temporarily change the name of the project, create the folder, then change the name back), then everything functions normally. What I would expect is for Godot to do some input scrubbing and remove/replace invalid characters in the name,

Steps to reproduce

1. Attempt to create a project.
2. Name it something with an invalid character(such as a question mark ? in it).
3. Press "Create folder".

I think that the characters being replaced with underscores(like GitHub) would work well
