Repro steps

• ng new myproject
• cd myproject
• ng eject

Observed behavior

Open webpack.config.js and search for the projectRoot variable (line 25 on Angular-CLI@1.6.5). The value is a hardcoded string which is the path on the computer which ejected the project. In my case /Users/sam/Projects/myproject. Not only the projectRoot is hardcoded, also the glob patterns in the CopyWebpackPlugin and CircularDependencyPlugin are hardcoded.

Desired behavior

The projectRoot should be set to __dirname and should be reused in the plugins.

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

Thanks for fixing @hansl!

If I may, this fix only affects the project root. All other paths in the Webpack configuration are still hardcoded.
