[PATCH] lineedit: get PWD from ash

The line editing code and ash disagree when the current directory
is changed to a symbolic link:
~ $ mkdir real
~ $ ln -s real link
~ $ cd link
~/real $ pwd
/home/rmyf36/link
Note the prompt says we're in ~/real. Bash does:
[rmy at random ~]$ cd link
[rmy at random link]$ pwd
/home/rmyf36/link
Ash uses the name supplied by the user while the line editing code
calls getcwd(3). The discrepancy can be avoided by fetching the
value of PWD from ash.
Hush (incorrectly?) calls getcwd(3) when the directory is changed
so there's no disagreement with the line editing code.
