fix: Windows infinite loop in findLocalBeadsDir and findOriginalBeadsDir (GH#996)

Browse Source 
Same fix as PR #991 for FindBeadsDir() - the loop condition
dir != "/" && dir != "." doesn't handle Windows drive roots.
On Windows, filepath.Dir("C:\\") returns "C:\\", not "/" or ".".

Changed both functions to check parent == dir to detect filesystem root,
which works correctly on both Unix and Windows.
