This patch adds cd and pwd commands to virsh. These can be useful
together with commands that refer to files in the local file systems,
especially save and restore.
I explicitly decided not to provide any other command, e.g. mkdir,
to avoid going down a slippery slope (now you want mkdir, tomorrow
ls and rm and so on...). If anything, it would be possible to add
a generic shell command---but cd cannot be implemented that way,
so pwd shall remain the sole "exception".
I did not implement "cd -".
Ok?
* docs/virsh.pod: Document cd and pwd commands.
* src/virsh.c (info_cd, opts_cd, cmdCd, info_pwd, cmdPwd): New.
(commands): Add cd and pwd commands.
* virsh.1: Regenerate.

Compared to v1, I didn't add the getcwd module from gnulib
because it is unnecessary on modern OSes and brings in too
many dependencies, some of them GPLed. This was somehow
masked before Jim's recent reorganization of gnulib.
