Subject: [PATCH] App.__format_topdir(): Mention relative in error

__format_topdir() accepts "absolute", "relative", "unaltered", and
"make:<variable-name>", but the error message it raises for anything
else only lists "unaltered", "absolute", and
"make:<variable-name>", leaving out "relative".

Add "relative" to the list of valid formats in the error message.
