help (mingw): Avoid current working directory when displaying html help

Browse Source 
We should specify a working directory to ShellExecute for the
following reason.  ShellExecute uses the current working
directory if not told otherwise.  html.c did not override this
default.  Therefore the current working directory was in use as
long as the browser displaying the HTML help was open.  As long
as a directory is in use, it can't be deleted.

This commit changes help.c to avoid this problem.  The HTML
browser is launched in the root directory "\\".
