tests: use an absolute path to get around '..' being invalid on a dead CWD

Only FreeBSD seems to be this picky. Note that this explicit
absolute-path `cd` exposes a defect in the test, in that we end up
still inside the cwd-vanish repository, but that's not a regression in
this change. Since we're in a code freeze, I'm doing the smallest
thing possible to try and fix bugs on FreeBSD, rather than cleaning up
the entire problem. I'll follow up with a more complete fix after the
freeze.

# The test-repo is a live hg repository which may have evolution
# markers created, e.g. when a ~/.hgrc enabled evolution.
#
# Tests are run using a custom HGRCPATH, which do not
# enable evolution markers by default.
#
# If test-repo includes evolution markers, and we do not
# enable evolution markers, hg will occasionally complain
# when it notices them, which disrupts tests resulting in
# sporadic failures.
#
# Since we aren't performing any write operations on the
# test-repo, there's no harm in telling hg that we support
# evolution markers, which is what the following lines
# for the hgrc file do:
cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF
[experimental]
