Allow an absolute path as dist directory

[okuryu]

It allows using an absolute path to start with / as the dist directory. The use case is it can be used the dist directory as a path not be under the current directory.

It might be a breaking change because of behavior changes on a pass a path to start with /. Please bump a major version if needed.

Fixes: #317

Instead of manually handling the absolute path case, you could consider using path.resolve instead of path.join:

> process.cwd()
'/home/user'
> path.join(process.cwd(), "/tmp/hello")
'/home/user/tmp/hello'  // incorrect, just joins the paths together in a platform-agnostic way
> path.resolve(process.cwd(), "/tmp/hello")
'/tmp/hello'  // correct, actually resolves the absolute path
> path.resolve(process.cwd(), "tmp/hello")
'/home/user/tmp/hello'
