fix: fix @react-native-community/cli-platform-* packages not being found in monorepos

[tido64]

Summary:

Fix @react-native-community/cli-platform-* packages not being found in monorepos.

Note that we are making the assumption that process.cwd() returns the project root. This is the same assumption that @react-native-community/cli makes. Specifically, findProjectRoot() has an optional argument that defaults to process.cwd():

• findProjectRoot()
• Which gets called without arguments in loadConfig()
• loadConfig() gets called from setupAndRun(), also without project root set

As far as I can see, the project root argument is only ever used in tests.

Note that we're assuming that the current working directory is the project root. This is also what @react-native-community/cli assumes (see https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/14.x/packages/cli-tools/src/findProjectRoot.ts).

Thanks for adding that comment - I don't love this assumption, but on the basis that the CLI is already making it, I'm OK building on it and calling this non-breaking.

I think we should investigate using an optional peer dependency here though - the sticking point might be the number of non-CLI users on Yarn classic.
