The default src directory in the setup script was missing a relative parent traversal, making it impossible to build without setting the environment variable CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR. This change fixes the relative path allowing the build to proceed.
An unofficial build will be published to pypi given there hasn't been an official release since 2017. pywatchman is a dependency for Django projects and is no longer able to run with recent versions of watchman. This is a temporary unofficial release meant to unblock those depending on pywatchman that are unable to use it. Hopefully this spurs Facebook into publishing a new version.
The notes in `setup.py` for building and publishing the package are not complete, as cibuildwheel requires a little bit of it's own setup, but the instructions are a decent guide to getting it done if someone wants to replicate their build.

pywatchman hasn't seen a release in 5 years: https://pypi.org/project/pywatchman/1.4.1/
The main watchman project is now incompatible with pywatchman meaning the pywatchman library is effectively dead without a new release.
I spent some time figuring out how to build it and have published an unofficial version from the latest (as of 2022-11-21) checkout. I've included some sparse notes within
setup.pyon how I built and published in case it's useful to anyone wanting to publish or maintain their own version, or to spur some interest from Meta folk that might want to publish an official update.I don't expect this PR to be merged, particularly since only the first commit (fixing the build dir path) is relevant to the official distribution.
