    Add support for [copy:filename] sections to install-xtrn.ini files

    This allows us to, for example, copy settings.example.ini to settings.ini during installation.

    install-xtrn.js: use absolute install dir for file access (#1231)

    The startup_dir made relative to ctrl_dir in c4ecdec8b7b was also used
    for js.exec, [copy:], and [ini:] file access, which resolve against the
    current working directory. When ctrl_dir is reached via a symlink (e.g.
    /sbbs -> /opt/sbbs), getcwd() returns the physical path, so the lexically calculated relative path (../../opt/sbbs/xtrn/syncdoom/) pointed to a non-existent location and [pre-exec:get-binary.js] failed with "Script
    file (get-binary.js) does not exist".

    Use an absolute install_dir for file access, keeping the relative
    startup_dir for values written to config files (including [ini:] values
    and [eval:] strings that reference startup_dir).

    Log Message:
    install-xtrn.js: resolve relative install paths against ctrl_dir

    A relative path argument (e.g. ../xtrn/syncdoom, as documented) was made absolute using getcwd(), which returns the physical path, while
    system.ctrl_dir may be spelled via a symlink (/sbbs vs /opt/sbbs). The
    relative startup_dir calculated from the two was then anchored to the
    physical path (../../opt/sbbs/xtrn/syncdoom/), which isn't portable and resolves to the wrong directory if the BBS is run with the other spelling
    of ctrl_dir.

    Try a relative path against system.ctrl_dir first, falling back to the
    current working directory if it doesn't exist there.
