#32989: Renaming Browser directory renables JavaScript

----------------------------+------------------------------------------
If I set the Safest Security Level, close the Browser, move the directory
and open it again from the new location, **it still reports the Safest
Security Level is selected, but JavaScript is enabled**!
By doing a diff on a clean extracted Browser and a configured one, I
noticed that the torrc file gets some absolute paths, like `DataDirectory
/home/...`, which may be the cause.
Tested with Tor Browser 9.0.4, downloaded from the website:
[https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/9.0.4/tor-browser-linux64-9.0
.4_en-US.tar.xz]
Steps to reproduce:
{{{#!sh
wget https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/9.0.4/tor-browser-
linux64-9.0.4_en-US.tar.xz
tar -xf tor-browser-linux64-9.0.4_en-US.tar.xz
cd tor-browser_en-US/Browser/
./start-tor-browser # set safest security level and close
./start-tor-browser youtube.com # site is broken
cd ../..
mv tor-browser_en-US somethingelse
cd somethingelse/Browser
./start-tor-browser youtube.com # site is working!!1
}}}
