OK, back to my original implementation (i.e., adding a new option
to `save-some-buffers-default-predicate`).

I have been playing with the followig patch this morning.
- it only adds a new option 'project-root
- in case there is not a root there, then `default-directory` is taken
  (this is a requirement from the OP, that ie me :-)
- this patch doesn't interfere with the 2nd argument of `save-some-buffers'.

Please, try it:
