Hi devs,

At some point between 1.3.0 and 1.4.1, the `newt` tool switched from using
a relative path for the built image when passing it to `openocd`, to using
an absolute path.

This can be a problem for anyone running a mixed Linux/Windows environment
like cygwin or WSL; relative paths are perfectly transferable between
systems (for example, Linux-native `newt` -> Windows-native `openocd`),
whereas absolute paths are not, because the root mount point is different
(C:/... vs. /mnt/c/...)

Any pointers to when this change may have happened, and whether it was
intentional or accidental? I remember making a change to newt tool to use
relative paths for this exact reason some time ago ;-)

Cheers,
simon
