`usage` tries to call $0, which might very well be "./doc-diff", so if
we `cd_to_toplevel` before calling `usage`, we'll end with an error to
the effect of "./doc-diff: not found" rather than a friendly `doc-diff
-h` output. Granted, all of these `usage` calls are in error paths, so
we're about to exit anyway, but the user experience of something like
`(cd Documentation && ./doc-diff)` could be a bit better than
"./doc-diff: not found".
This regressed in ad51743007 ("doc-diff: add --clean mode to remove
temporary working gunk", 2018-08-31) where we moved the call to
`cd_to_toplevel` to much earlier. Move it back to where it was, and
teach the "--clean" code to cd on its own. This way, we only cd once
we've verified the arguments.
A more general fix would be to teach git-sh-setup to save away the
absolute path for $0 and then use that, instead. I'm not aware of any
portable way of doing that, see, e.g., d2addc3b96 ("t7800: readlink
may not be available", 2016-05-31), so let's just fix this user
instead.

So here's a v2 doing exactly that.
