### Is this a regression?

No, this issue has been in the CLI for a long time

### Description

When using the `--directory` param with the absolute path, the CLI does not respect the value and creates the directory path relative to the current directory instead.

## 🔬 Minimal Reproduction

Run the following command:

```shell
ng new app1 --directory=/tmp/app1 --skip-install
```

Expected behaviour:

The application is generated within `/tmp/app1` directory.

Actual behaviour:

The application is generated within current directory: `./tmp/app1`

## 🌍 Your Environment

Angular CLI: 11.0.2

Node: 14.15.0

OS: darwin x64

**Anything else relevant?**

Using macOS

Beginne damit, `ng new app1 --directory=/tmp/app1 --skip-install` mit der gemeldeten Angular CLI-Version zu reproduzieren, und verfolge anschließend den CLI-Einstiegspunkt, der `new` und dessen Option `--directory` verarbeitet. Als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn ein absolutes Verzeichnis unter `/tmp/app1` erstellt wird und nicht unter `./tmp/app1`, ohne dass relative Pfade beeinträchtigt werden.
