Refactor retrieving the current working directory

The GNU C Library (glibc) offers an function which allocates the
necessary memory automatically [0]. When it is available, we use that.

Otherwise we depend upon the `getcwd` function which requires a
preallocated buffer (and its size). This function was used incorrectly
by depending on the initial buffer size being big enough and otherwise
failing to return the current working directory. The proper way of
getting the current working directory requires a loop which doubles the
buffer size if `getcwd` requires it. This code was copied from [1] with
modifications to fit the context.
