Subject: pwd: assume -L mode by default, as per POSIX

* src/pwd.c (main): Adjust default mode to be "logical"
and independent of the POSIXLY_CORRECT env var.
(usage): Mention the default mode of operation.
* doc/coreutils.texi (pwd invocation): Adjust accordingly.
* tests/misc/pwd-option.sh: Likewise.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.

 ** Improvements
 
   chroot has better --userspec and --group look-ups, with numeric IDs never
