Thanks to QTBUG-61373, this qmake function was called with
/usr/local/5.10.1 as baseDir, which isn't absolute, leading to an
assertion failure. We could raise the error within qmake but it
proved easier to simply resolve any non-absolute baseDir using PWD,
before trying to use it as an absolute path.
Did the same for $$absolute_path(). Documented both. Adjusted the
assert that caught this to report any non-absolute path that upsets
it. Added simple tests, fixed an existing test.
