[LyX/master] Change default working directory from ~/ to "."

[Scott Kostyshak]

    Change default working directory from ~/ to "."
    
    Note that the lyxrc.document_path variable corresponds to what we
    call the "Working directory" in the GUI preferences dialog.
    
    Setting document_path to "." makes it so when LyX is started from a
    directory, that directory is the default path for many of LyX's
    operations, such as the following:
    
    - new file, new from template
    - adding a custom BibTeX file
    - GUI compare dialog
    - local layout button in document settings
    - external material file browser
    - graphics browser, include browser
    
    The best guess for where the user wants to save or find files is the
    directory the user started LyX from. Before, the default was always
    the home directory. If desired, the old behavior can be restored by
    changing the default path in Preferences > "Working directory".
    
    This commit takes advantage of 9b64d7bd, which allows the use of a
    relative path for path preferences.
