[Buildroot] [PATCHv4 3/4] board/qemu/post-image.sh: execute from BINARIES_DIR

Usually the qemu command line start directly with "qemu-system-<arch> ...".
But the command line for qemu_arm_vexpress_tz_defconfig start by doing
"cd output/images && ../host/bin/qemu-system-arm". This is necessary
since boot binaries, except BL1, are primarily loaded via semi-hosting
so all binaries has to reside in the same directory as QEMU is started
from [1].

To order to handle this case correctly, update the post-image.sh used
by all qemu defconfigs to execute qemu from BINARIES_DIR.

Since we have to change the current directory use a subshell to
restore the current directory after Qemu execution.
