…lastic#227301) By default automatic eslint configuration in webstorm settings  [finds](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/eslint.html#ws_js_eslint_manual_configuration:~:text=detects%20the%20working%20directory%20automatically.%20First%2C%20it%20looks%20for%20a%20directory%20closest%20to%20the%20linted%20file%20which%20contains%20a%20configuration%20file.) closest (to currently open file) eslint config and sets that directory as the current working directory for the entire eslint process Some existing nested eslint config files do not account for that when searching for project root and assume that process.cwd() in eslint process would always be the kibana root. That's why they currently break in webstorm with `Error: Cannot find module '/.eslintrc'` This PR fixes that regression. But even after this fix is merged, webstorm users still need to use manual eslint config setting to detect the root of the project for eslint process to circumvent that faulty automatic cwd detection of webstorm and allow eslint cascade to work to support nested .eslintrc.js in combination with root .eslintrc.js files.  Unfortunately this is a known and current webstorm design limitation/bug per https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-45381#focus=Comments-27-4342029.0-0 (cherry picked from commit 488434c)
