Alisdair McDiarmid ca23a096d8 cli: Remove legacy positional path arguments ...

Several commands continued to support the legacy positional path
argument to specify a working directory. This functionality has been
replaced with the global -chdir flag, which is specified before any
other arguments, including the sub-command name.

This commit removes support for the trailing path parameter from
most commands. The only command which still supports a path argument is
fmt, which also supports "-" to indicate receiving configuration from
standard input.

Any invocation of a command with an invalid trailing path parameter will
result in a short error message, pointing at the -chdir alternative.

There are many test updates in this commit, almost all of which are
migrations from using positional arguments to specify a working
directory. Because of the layer at which these tests run, we are unable
to use the -chdir argument, so the churn in test files is larger than
ideal. Sorry!
