autotest_common: Don't use cwd for $output_dir

If $output_dir is not set, cwd is used as a designated output dir
throughout the runtime of the script that sourced autotest_common.sh.
This, however, may fail in some particular cases, e.g. when calling
autobuild.sh directly from within the spdk repo. As a result some
*.txt files that are created by scanbuild_make() will end up in the
root of the repo. This causes porcelain_check() to fail as it does
pick these files up after the test is done.

To avoid similar scenarios, simply make sure the desired output dir
is always created and that it resides outside of the repo.
