Subject: [PATCH] pwd: revert default mode back to -P

Revert commit v8.22-131-g3e89d5b as even though POSIX
states that the default mode should be -L,
common practice for stand-alone pwd implementations
is to default to -P.

* src/pwd.c (usage): Retain mention of the default mode of operation.

   and not output colors even with --colors=always.
 
-  pwd now conforms to POSIX and common practice with shell builtins
-  to assume -L by default, outputting $PWD from the environment if appropriate.

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