realpath: let --relative-to default to --relative-base
Most of the time, if someone wants to filter which paths are relative while leaving all others absolute, they also want to to the filtering based on the same --relative-to directory. Make this easier to specify. * src/realpath.c (main): Convert error to default. * doc/coreutils.texi (realpath invocation): Document this. * tests/misc/realpath: Adjust test to match. * NEWS: Document it.
