config: cwd is a required default

After thorough discussion, even though a reasonable default is "/", for
platform independence, leave this up to the bundle author.

Also, by this variable being present it makes things explicit for the
runtime.

Should this have dropped omitempty from Process.Cwd in config.go?

Re 1, I think “different platforms have different defaults” is a
feature (platforms can try and differentiate themselves by picking
more useful defaults, and spec wording like 2 would ensure “runtimes
don't default to something different”). For an example where we
decided to expose platform defaults (as I think we should do
consistently), see 3.

I'm not sure what the plan is for maintaining the ChangeLog 1,
but if it's not “added right before cutting a release” we probably
don't want to wait too long before landing an entry for this
backwards-incompatible change.
