Enhancement: Include execution path in backup info.
Have you checked borgbackup docs, FAQ, and open Github issues?
As best I could, searching for this is a bit tricky.
Is this a BUG / ISSUE report or a QUESTION?

Describe the problem you're observing.
When performing a backup using a relative path, the backup targets location is lost as the execution path is not included in the backups info (as best as I can tell).
I use relative paths a lot to keep backups cleaner, but really, this would just be a nice to have. Something like this:

So we would need an additional archive metadata entry like cwd: /current/working/directory.
There is a bit of overlap and potential contradiction here with #4685 (in that case, the "cwd" would change while borg is creating one archive).
This needs these changes:
- the cwd needs to be put into archive metadata, key "cwd"
borg infoneeds to show the cwd
