What is the problem or limitation you are having?

The briefcase convert command should allow the user to choose a sources directory if a suitable one cannot be found instead of raising. For instance, if my project was named "My Favorite App", Briefcase is expecting a directory named "my_favorite_app"...but "myfavoriteapp" is reasonable and should be usable by the convert command.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow users to choose an arbitrary sub-directory for the app sources.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Re-organize the existing project prior to conversion.

Additional context

Agreed that it shouldn't be raising an error... that's an oversight of review on my part. The rest of the infrastructure is there to prompt the user - but we're raising an error before we get to that logic. The only complication I can see is that it's not obvious what the default value should be - but maybe a blank string will work (because it will be rejected by validation).
