[Enhancement] Support for running from under /lib/

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I tend to like putting all my third party dependencies under /lib/ in my
django applications. However, doing this will break ./manage.py and
similar, as they assume that app.yaml will be in the same directory as
appengine_django, but instead they're on directory up.

Attached is a patch which will support checking the parent directory for
app.yaml, as well as giving a more helpful error message if there's no
app.yaml to be found

(Patch is against svn trunk)

Thanks for the patch, it looks like a reasonable concept. 

You could consider using a pattern such as the one used to find the SDK at
http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-django/source/browse/trunk/appengine_
django/__init__.py#84
to avoid having branches in your if statement that do nothing other than 
"pass". I
think this would make the code somewhat clearer.

Please also see the README and ensure that you have completed the CLA signing
requirements.
