    Log Message:
    Search mods and exec for relative ?script paths not found from ctrl

    A ?script command line (;EXEC, bbs.exec(), external program, editor and
    menu command lines) with a bare script name is searched for in the
    startup directory, mods and exec. A relative path containing a directory
    was only opened relative to the current directory, which is the ctrl
    directory, so ?tests/test.js failed even though exec/tests/test.js
    exists.

    Such a path is still tried relative to ctrl first, so every command line
    that resolved before resolves the same way (e.g. ?../xtrn/...). Only when
    it isn't found there is it searched for like a bare name: startup
    directory, then mods, then exec.

    The @-code test runner's usage comment now uses the short form:
    ;EXEC ?tests/test.js atcodes
