os: improve Getwd documentation

Browse Source 
1. Replace "rooted path name" with a more accurate "absolute path name".
Using "absolute" seems to be preferred terminology on Unix. On Windows,
there are multiple roots in Windows, thus "a rooted path name" can be
one relative to a drive letter or a server name. Note that Windows'
GetCurrentDirectory documentation [1] also says "the absolute path to the
current directory".

2. Add a note about using $PWD on Unix.
