ldlinux: Perform chdir() before parsing config
The old 4.x behaviour for handling CONFIG directives of the form,
CONFIG foo.cfg /bar
was to lookup the absolute pathname of foo.cfg, then chdir to /bar and
finally to parse foo.cfg. The 5.x behaviour reversed the chdir and
parsing steps. This meant if foo.cfg's contents were simply,
INCLUDE say.txt
4.x would include /bar/say.txt and 5.x would include
/boot/syslinux/say.txt (assuming the current working directory was
/boot/syslinux).
What's even worse is that because of the way 'config_cwd' is used in
5.x we'd actually perform the chdir() operation after the first
INCLUDE in foo.cfg, e.g.
INCLUDE say.txt
INCLUDE say.txt
would include /boot/syslinux/say.txt and /bar/say.txt, respectively.
