Many of the other PHPCS extensions in the marketplace support automatically discovering the phpcs executable.
Proposed Solution
We should add a new phpCodeSniffer.executableAuto option of type "boolean". This option can then be used in the Configuration class to automatically discover the vendor/bin/phpcs file in the file's directory. We should traverse from the file's directory to its working directory searching and use the first file that we discover.
