- Convert `cd` arg passed to `local` command to an absolute path via the
`abs_path` utility function. This is mainly so that asset paths like
`'package.module:file'` will be handled correctly.
- Normalize default arg names read from config file. E.g., if a command has
an arg named `dir_` with a trailing slash to avoid clashing with the builtin
`dir` function, allow the arg to specified as `dir` in the config file.
