fix(:bcd): do not "inherit" buffer-local dir

Problem:
Buffer-local CWD (:bcd) is "sticky", similar to window-local CWD (:lcd).
But this contradicts one of its main benefits: per-buffer "project root"
for LSP, OSC7.

Other problems:
- A buffer created with :edit/:enew/:new silently inherits b_localdir
  (and b_prevdir) from the previous buffer.
- curbuf_reusable() refuses to recycle a scratch buffer that has
  `b_localdir`.
- After :new/:vnew/:tabnew the CWD sticks to previous buffer's
  `b_localdir` even though the new curbuf has none, so :new is not
  equivalent to ":split | enew", and getcwd() disagrees with
  haslocaldir().
- Requires "which buffer spawned this buffer" semantics that no other
  buffer-local state has.

Solution:
Drop sticky/inherit behavior of buffer-local CWD (:bcd).

- do_ecmd: always apply the new curbuf's dir (`fix_current_dir`), like
  `do_autochdir` already does. :tabnew from a :bcd buffer now reverts to
  global CWD (and fires DirChanged), same as :tabnew from a :lcd window.
- curbuf_reusable(): recycling a scratch buffer frees its b_localdir.

To get sticky/inherit behavior of CWD, use `:lcd`.
