Interpret --skip arguments as relative paths

The --skip arguments are interpreted as paths relative to the
directories to check (the "file" arguments passed to codespell),
in addition to being interpreted "as is".

The benefit is that "codespell ." and "codespell $PWD" behave
the same, you just pass relative paths to --skip. No more adding
"./" to directory patterns.
