Change the default for top-dir-prefix from user's home directory to
current working directory.

This allows to do:
    mkdir -p ~/temp/bb-test
    cd ~/temp/bb-test
    bitbake-setup init
      ...
      setup-dir = poky-altcfg

ending up with the build directory at:
  ~/temp/bb-test/bitbake-builds/poky-altcfg/build

It's a well known pattern to have Yocto builds setup in a self-contained
directory rather than in a absolute directory. There are also users who
have seperate partitions or even extra disks for their builds.
