It has been pointed out[1] that cwd() invokes "pwd(1)" while getcwd()
is a Perl-native XS function. For what we're using these for we can
use getcwd().

The performance difference is miniscule, we're saving on the order of
a millisecond or so, see [2] below for the benchmark. I don't think
this matters in practice for optimizing git-send-email or perl
execution (unlike the patches leading up to this one).

But let's do it regardless of that, if only so we don't have to think
about this as a low-hanging fruit anymore.

    $ perl -MBenchmark=:all -MCwd -wE 'cmpthese(10000, { getcwd => sub { getcwd }, cwd => sub { cwd }, pwd => sub { system "pwd >/dev/null" }})'
                (warning: too few iterations for a reliable count)
                             Rate                  pwd                 cwd    getcwd
    pwd                     982/s                   --                -48%     -100%
