Log Message:
install-xtrn.js: use absolute install dir for file access (#1231)

The startup_dir made relative to ctrl_dir in c4ecdec8b7b was also used
for js.exec, [copy:], and [ini:] file access, which resolve against the
current working directory. When ctrl_dir is reached via a symlink (e.g.
/sbbs -> /opt/sbbs), getcwd() returns the physical path, so the lexically
calculated relative path (../../opt/sbbs/xtrn/syncdoom/) pointed to a
non-existent location and [pre-exec:get-binary.js] failed with "Script
file (get-binary.js) does not exist".

Use an absolute install_dir for file access, keeping the relative
startup_dir for values written to config files (including [ini:] values
and [eval:] strings that reference startup_dir).
