Allow `kobweb run` to work in submodules of Gradle projects

[bitspittle]

Given a project like:

root/
  gradlew
  a/
  b/
  c/d/e/kobweb-site/

this should work:

cd root/c/d/e/kobweb-site
kobweb run

Right now it doesn't because it's looking for gradlew in the current directory. Instead, we should crawl up to see if we can find gradlew in a parent directory instead of giving up immediately.

Fix will go out in kobweb 0.7.4

Instead of searching upwards in the file path which is risky, say there is another gradle file outside of the project. It might be better to have a property in the configuration file listing the root directory, e.g. "../../". Alternatively have a kobwebRun gradle task which does the same thing as kobweb run.

By the way there is a gradle task - called kobwebStart, which you can run manually if you want. (Be sure to run it as kobwebStart -t). Then run kobwebStop when you want to shut down the server.
