slime: don't use cd command

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The slime port uses the cd command in the build and destroot phases, which won't work in MacPorts 1.7.0 and later, and doesn't work in MacPorts trunk today:

$ port install slime
--->  Fetching slime
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for slime
--->  Extracting slime
--->  Configuring slime
--->  Building slime with target all
Error: Target org.macports.build returned: invalid command name "cd"
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
$

You should remove the cd command from the portfile. See also #12914.

Hmm. What is one supposed to use instead?

Untested fix; before committing, confirm that the list of files installed by the port before and after applying this patch is identical

Did not use Ryan's suggested patch as basis of my patch (I didn't see the notification before I revisited this).

To answer my question as to what to use:

1. Use inside of system invocation with conditional pipeline execution ("&&")

ex: system "cd ${worksrcpath} && DO_SOMETHING ... "

2. For xinstall usage, use either the '-W' argument or use absolute paths:

ex: xinstall -W ${worksrcpath} -d ${prefix}/share/local
