Re-allow for relative paths for exclude
Previously, all testing was done from the directory in which the
configuration file lived, so this bug went unnoticed. However, if you
run Flake8 against its own source from a directory above, you would
notice that the patterns in the exclude config value in tox.ini were
ignored. This is because we (like any reasonable person) are using
relative paths. The path is relative, however, to the directory in
which the configuration file was located. So we keep track of which
directory that is and use that to normalize the paths in the config
file.

Yes, there is an unrelated change to our tox.ini in this commit as
well. ;-)

========
 Flake8
========

Flake8 is a wrapper around these tools:

- PyFlakes
- pycodestyle
- Ned Batchelder's McCabe script

Flake8 runs all the tools by launching the single ``flake8`` command.
It displays the warnings in a per-file, merged output.

It also adds a few features:

- files that contain this line are skipped::

    # flake8: noqa

- lines that contain a ``# noqa`` comment at the end will not issue warnings.
- you can ignore specific errors on a line with ``# noqa: <error>``, e.g.,
  ``# noqa: E234``
- Git and Mercurial hooks
- extendable through ``flake8.extension`` and ``flake8.formatting`` entry
  points


Quickstart
==========

See our `quickstart documentation
<http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/index.html#quickstart>`_ for how to install
and get started with Flake8.
