Resolve check and freshen paths against the manifest's directory (closes #177)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

Without --base, check and freshen now look for a manifest's files in the
directory that holds it, the file named or the one found in a directory
argument, instead of the current directory. So `mfer check /media/drive`
checks a drive against its own index.mf from anywhere. check of a manifest
given by URL still uses the current directory, and --base still overrides,
even when it names the current directory. The --base help text of both
commands and the README's Tool Examples state the default; the README gains
a freshen entry for this.
