I ran into some issues with workdir not being absolute, specifically with stac-asset trying to download remote assets for an item with some local assets with hrefs based on the workdir and therefore non-absolute paths. Forcing the workdir path to be absolute works around this issue.
I think this change also helps in the case where processing code changes the working directory for some reason. As relative paths are interpreted relative to the cwd, changing the cwd could cause really bad things to happen if the workdir path is not absolute.
