Currently the dir argument to addprocs specifies the directory of the executable, and exename specifies the name of the executable. However, some ClusterManagers do a cd dir and others don't.

Instead, dir should specify the working directory (defaulting to pwd()), and exename should specify the executable path (defaulting to joinpath(JULIA_HOME, exename)).

This requires changes both in Base and in ClusterManagers.jl.

see #7527
