feat: walk up directory tree to find .cheat directory (#602)

Browse Source 
Previously cheat only checked the current working directory for a .cheat
subdirectory. Now it walks upward through ancestor directories, stopping
at the first .cheat directory found. This mirrors how git discovers .git
directories, so users can place .cheat at their project root and have it
work from any subdirectory.

### Directory-scoped Cheatpaths ###
At times, it can be useful to closely associate cheatsheets with a directory on
your filesystem. `cheat` facilitates this by searching for a `.cheat` folder in
the current working directory. If found, the `.cheat` directory will
(temporarily) be added to the cheatpaths.
your filesystem. `cheat` facilitates this by searching for a `.cheat` directory
in the current working directory and its ancestors (similar to how `git` locates
`.git` directories). The nearest `.cheat` directory found will (temporarily) be
added to the cheatpaths. This means you can place a `.cheat` directory at your
project root and it will be available from any subdirectory within that project.
