Ensure `kernel.js` uses `process.cwd()` if working directory hasn't been set about ijavascript HOT 2 CLOSED

@jkroso (reply to #4 (comment))

Installing the spec at the npm install is a different issue. In fact, I think it would be very convenient for Jupyter users to do so. Local and global installs should be treated differently, though.

Currently, Jupyter spawns the IJavascript kernel by running:

/path/to/kernel.js working_folder connection_file [--protocol=5.0]

What I was thinking is to change kernel.js so that it's run like this:

/path/to/kernel.js connection_file [--working-folder=/path/to/working/folder] [--protocol=5.0]

and ensure that if the flag --working-folder isn't set, then the working folder defaults to process.cwd().

I haven't started working on this issue. If you want to give it a go, please read about the license and the coding guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.md and go ahead.

If you need any help, clarification or find any problems, please, let me know here.

@jkroso I'm planning to work on this. Please, give me a shout if you've already worked on it.
