lnpx

npx for local npm package binaries (also search parent folders)

Why?

npx only searches for latest node_modules folder. But my case is that the binary exists on another upper node_modules folder, structure as:
- root
  - node_modules
    - .bin/foo
  - sub-folder
    - node_modules
    - sub2 (The folder where bin "foo" wants to be executed.)

The lnpx will search both sub-folder/node_modules and root/node_modules and any other parent folders, and also the global npm bin folder.
