jpackage on MacOS - ./Contents/Contents/app/myapp.cfg file not found

[Andy Herrick]

Looks like an instance of: JDK-8260335 
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8260335> : [macos] Running app 
using relative path causes problems (fixed in jdk17 build b09)

you can try builds from https://jdk.java.net/17/ to confirm fix.
