Fix the current directory of the Emacs process on MS-Windows.
src/w32.c (getwd): Adjust commentary about startup_dir. (init_environment): Always call sys_access, even in non-MSVC builds. Don't chdir to the directory of the Emacs executable. This undoes code from 1997 which was justified by the need to "avoid conflicts when removing and renaming directories". But its downside was that every relative file name was being interpreted relative to the directory of the Emacs executable, which can never be TRT. In particular, it broke sys_access when called with relative file names. (sys_access): Map GetLastError to errno.
