Restore handling of build directory inside a symlinked path (!4963) · Merge requests · CMake / CMake

Brad King requested to merge brad.king/cmake:restore-cwd-translation-map into master Jul 02, 2020

In !4572 (merged) we imported utils/kwsys@019afb6e from utils/kwsys!174 (merged). That caused GetCurrentWorkingDirectory to no longer send paths through the KWSys translation map and broke CMake's detection of the absolute path to a build directory containing a symbolic link. Add our own cmSystemTools::GetCurrentWorkingDirectory wrapper around the KWSys method in order to restore that mapping.
