Driver: Add a --working-directory option which can be used to cause the compiler
to operate "as if" in a certain working directory. - For now, we just implement this by changing the actual working directory, but eventually we would want to handle this transparently. This is useful to avoid an extra exec() pair in some situations, and will be something we would want to support for more flexibility in using the Clang libraries. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk@140409 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
