runtime(netrw): NetrwChgPerm for files not in cwd

runtime(netrw): NetrwChgPerm for files not in cwd

Problem: Changing permissions fail when using `gp` if the file under
the cursor is not in the current working directory.
Solution: Use the already available `a:curdir` argument and prepend it
to the `<cfile>`, so that the path of the file is correct.

This commit also refactors some leftover `netrw#ErrorMsg` to
`netrw#msg#Notify` (the main refactoring was done in
f5e3b5c04f85b0f69cd2aae81e4938cfb191a790).
