bug#20451: 25.0.50; [PATCH] Add prefix argument to `pwd'

[Simen Heggestøyl]

I often find myself doing `C-u M-x pwd RET', hoping that the current

default directory will be inserted at point, but it doesn't. `pwd'

doesn't currently act on a prefix argument, so why not let it do this?

This matches how `shell-command', and newly also `quick-calc', treat

prefix arguments.
