Auto merge of #11901 - jofas:fix-for-11852, r=weihanglo

Documented working directory behaviour for `cargo test`, `cargo bench` and `cargo run`

Fixes #11852. Updated the respective man-pages of `cargo test`, `cargo bench` and `cargo run` to include the information of the working directory of the executables. Added a comment in the code of `cargo run`  where the default behaviour (the package's root directory) is overridden.
