lightningd: chdir as soon as we know lightning dir.

Browse Source 
This is easy since we did the option parsing cleanup, but it has the
effect that plugins are launched from the lightning-dir.  Now
we have dynamic plugins, this means startup and post-startup plugins
experience the same environment.

This is absolutely a desirable thing: they can just drop files in
their cwd rather than having to move (including, I might note, core
files!).

We also highlight the change in various places (and a drive-up update
of PLUGINS.md which says you have to use --plugin).

The next patch adds a backwards compatibility wedge for old users of
relative plugin paths.
