remove cwd option, or at least stop resolving entrypoint relative to it #1834

Today, cwd affects resolution of the entrypoint so when you ts-node --cwd foo bar.ts then you run foo/bar.ts

Seems nice enough from a user perspective, but from a maintenance and compatibility perspective it gets hairy. Cuz what should happen when user code forks a child process in a different working directory, expecting the entrypoint for that child process to be resolved relative to that working directory.

#1814 (comment)

It's not clear we should even have a --cwd option. tsc and node do not. At the very least, it shouldn't be affecting the resolution of entrypoint scripts. That makes us incompatible with node and it's feature creep.
