top: Do not default to the cwd in configs_r... Tweaked

Browse Source 
While it's only documented (so far) in commit text and
an occasional email I've tried to maintain some coding
standards primarily for reference/navigation purposes.
They also served, I felt, as useful mental challenges.

Someday I will get around to formerly documenting them
but in the meantime here are the ones for this commit:

. functions are grouped into logical (i hope) sections
. functions & sections are ordered to avoid prototypes
. function names are alphabetical within every section
. all functions & sections must be referenced in top.h

This patch just attempts to honor the above standards,
while also covering this new behavior in the man page.

[ please note that the net result of these 2 patches ]
[ is simply to avoid pathname truncations should our ]
[ limit of 1024 be exceeded. they do not have a role ]
[ in solving the 'local privilege escalation' issue. ]

[ and we can never prevent a user from setting their ]
[ HOME var to a directory writable by some attacker! ]

[ the only real protection for that CVE-2018-1122 is ]
[ those soon to be enhanced rcfile integrity checks, ]
[ achieved through several of the following patches. ]
