This patch adds cd and pwd commands to virsh. These can be useful

I explicitly decided not to provide any other command, e.g. mkdir,
to avoid going down a slippery slope (now you want mkdir, tomorrow
ls and rm and so on...). If anything, it would be possible to add
a generic shell command---but cd cannot be implemented that way,
so pwd shall remain the sole "exception".
I did not implement "cd -".
Ok?
Fine by me but I would wait after 0.6.5, so next week to push this.
Note that path get absolutized when entering libvirt itself, and if
you're using a remote connection the path is absolutized locally, and
transmitted as absolute to the remote end.
