Currently, node modules like aspnet-webpack must be installed in the root directory of the web app.

When node modules (and package.json) are placed in a parent directory (e.g. a solution folder), node will still resolve packages correctly using require, but packages called via node services will fail to resolve the same packages.

If NodeServices could search up the directory tree like node does, it would be easier to share node packages between multiple web projects in a single solution.
