Fix exec -w for relative paths with --root argument

Passing --root to `dune build` and `dune exec` causes relative paths
to files to be resolved relative to the workspace root rather than the
working directory (in addition to its main function of explicitly
setting the workspace root directory). This was not implemented
correctly for exec watch mode, where relative paths would be resolved
relative to the working directory instead.

There was already a test for this which was failing, however the test
is disabled in CI as it is known to be flaky.
