TheFightingCatfish d2af27d2d0 FileManager: Change the cwd when opening a directory
The `open()` function of DirectoryView should change the current working
directory, so that the "Go to Location" menu item can process relative
paths correctly. Update other functions in DirectoryView to use `open()`
when opening a directory.

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
