Feature: Find config recursively

[GMartigny]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Unlike shellscape/webpack-command (formerly webpack-contrib/webpack-command) configuration file is not searched upward in the directory tree. When using monorepo, I would like to set one configuration's file at the root and not for each sub-modules.

Describe the solution you'd like
Being able to define only one webpack configuration file for all sub-modules of a mono-repo.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I could use shellscape/webpack-command, but I would like to stay within the official repo.
I could set symbolic links, but it feels overkills.

Additional context
File ./webpack.config.js exists.
Scripts in ./packages/sub/package.json:

"build:cli": "webpack-cli --mode=production",
"build:com": "webpack-command --mode=production"

Running lerna run build:cli fail to read ./webpack.config.js, but lerna run build:com works.

This feature could change existing behavior, but it seems closer to what could be expected. (works alike git config)
