Allow smithy-build to not be in root directory

[parkerbjur]

Not sure if this is already available. but there is no way to configure the extension to look for the smithy-build.json file in any other location than the root directory. This leads to the inability to have a smithy folder in a project where you place the models and the smithy-build.json file. This structure is what all of the smithy tutorials and guides recommend so I thought I was doing something wrong when it wasn't working.

I could be wrong about this, please let me know.

If this is the case, I think some documentation should be added that makes this apparent.

You should be able to specify a root path using the vscode extension config option smithyLsp.rootPath. But yea it isn't well documented right now.

Really we need to have the extension look for smithy-build.json files from the working directory, though. That way you wouldn't have to specify the path yourself.

@milesziemer I've tried setting smithyLsp.rootPath in my workspace settings to the directory containing our smithy-build.json relative to the root of my workspace, but I'm not getting any LSP functionality.

When I change it to an absolute path it does work, but that is not a viable solution for me because I have multiple branches of my repository checked out in different paths. Is it possible to configure it as a relative path?
