[PATCH] manual: Improve documentation of get_current_dir_name. [BZ #6889]

[Rical Jasan <ricaljasan at pacific dot net>]

This is a minor rewording to clarify the behaviour of
get_current_dir_name.  Additionally, the @vindex is moved above the
@deftypefun so that following links give a better result with regard
to context.

	[BZ #6889]
	* manual/filesys.texi (get_current_dir_name): Clarify
	behaviour.

+The @code{get_current_dir_name} function is basically equivalent to
+@w{@code{getcwd (NULL, 0)}}, except the value of the @env{PWD}
+environment variable is first examined, and if it does in fact
+correspond to the current directory, that value is returned.  This is

 This function is a GNU extension.
