Elijah Newren e6f8861bd4 setup: introduce startup_info->original_cwd
Removing the current working directory causes all subsequent git
commands run from that directory to get confused and fail with a message
about being unable to read the current working directory:

    $ git status
    fatal: Unable to read current working directory: No such file or directory

Non-git commands likely have similar warnings or even errors, e.g.

    $ bash -c 'echo hello'
    shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
    hello

This confuses end users, particularly since the command they get the
error from is not the one that caused the problem; the problem came from
the side-effect of some previous command.

We would like to avoid removing the current working directory of our
parent process; towards this end, introduce a new variable,
startup_info->original_cwd, that tracks the current working directory
that we inherited from our parent process.  For convenience of later
comparisons, we prefer that this new variable store a path relative to
the toplevel working directory (thus much like 'prefix'), except without
the trailing slash.

Subsequent commits will make use of this new variable.
