) It's common for users of multitool to want to run tools in the current working directory. In #26, @alexeagle documented a technique we've used for a while with creating a script and symlinking to it. Our internal copy of this script is a bit more complicated to help avoid expensive calls to Bazel that simple `bazel run` calls don't really need. More refinements have been proposed in #27. All of these things are fundamentally workarounds for bazelbuild/bazel#3325. To help simplify things, this PR adds a convenience wrapper that captures the execpath, switches to $BUILD_WORKING_DIRECTORY, and then runs the desired tool. The resulting shell script gets to use a very simple `bazel run`, should be compatible across any slew of Bazel options, and cache as well as any typical run target.
