Yo doesn't check parent directories for `yo-rc.json` about generator HOT 4 OPEN

This is the [email protected] behavior.
While there are some use cases it may make sense, with workspaces it doesn't.

workspaces
│   yo-rc.json   (generator-workspaces)
└───packages
│   └───package1 (generator-node)
│       └   yo-rc.json
│   └───package2 (generator-node)
│       └   yo-rc.json

from generator.

@mshima Is there any way to get the intended behaviour? Otherwise, the whole deal with yo-rc.json doesn't seem to make sense to me, or the documentation about it is outdated

Install and load 'find-up' package

Add at your constructor something like:

const rootPath = findUp.sync('.yo-rc.json', {
  cwd: this.destinationRoot()
});
if (rootPath) {
  this.destinationRoot(rootPath);
}

from generator.

I used the solution suggested by @mshima and found an incompleteness: the rootPath value at the end includes the '.yo-rc.json' filename. Consider removing it before passing rootPath to this.destinationRoot, or you will get an error on writing.
Also keep in mind that since version 6.0.0 find-up uses ESM. The last CJS version of it is 5.0.0.
