[pmg-devel] [PATCH pmg-api] cli utils: chdir to / before running

[Stoiko Ivanov]

some of PMG's CLI invocations switch user to postgres and run `psql`
(through `PMG::Utils::postgres_admin_cmd()`)

When running a command in `/root` (or any other directory not
accessible by the postgres user this causes:
`could not change directory to "/root": Permission denied`
to be printed multiple times on stderr for those invocations, which is
confusing and has caused quite a few support requests.

grepping through the code-base setup_default_cli_env seems the
appropriate place for chdir to /, since it's only called once per cli
utility.

quickly tested with `pmgconfig sync`
