Use AbsolutePathBuf for cwd state (#15710)

Migrate `cwd` and related session/config state to `AbsolutePathBuf` so
downstream consumers consistently see absolute working directories.

Add test-only `.abs()` helpers for `Path`, `PathBuf`, and `TempDir`, and
update branch-local tests to use them instead of
`AbsolutePathBuf::try_from(...)`.

For the remaining TUI/app-server snapshot coverage that renders absolute
cwd values, keep the snapshots unchanged and skip the Windows-only cases
where the platform-specific absolute path layout differs.
