Description
Describe the bug
:.!pwd prints the /home/user directory to the current line on linux(Similar behavior on Windows).
Shouldn't it use the VSCode ${workspaceFolder} variable as cwd instead?
Simple commands like :!git push won't work for that reason.
To Reproduce
type :.!pwd
Expected behavior
/path/to/workspace/folder inserted
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: 1.26.1
- VSCode version: 1.83.1
- OS: Linux Mint 5.8.4

Research direction
Start by reproducing :.!pwd in VSCodeVim on Linux and compare the reported directory with the VS Code ${workspaceFolder} value. Find the bang-command entry point and verify that commands such as :!git push run from the workspace folder, then confirm the expected path is inserted for the reported environment.
