Feature request: transitively include .flowconfig files

[ide]

When your project includes a dependency that defines its own flowconfig file (for example, React Native), currently Flow doesn't import the dependency's flowconfig. This is a feature request for Flow to automatically import the flowconfig files of dependencies.

I believe there are at least two ways dependency can be specified:

• It lives in a subdirectory such as node_modules
• It lives in some other directory but is included under the [include] section of .flowconfig

In either case Flow would have to smartly resolve the paths within each flow config it finds.

@ide @frantic the issue with automatically doing this is that there are situations where a parent and child project will both use the child project's tree, in different ways (@frantic e.g. our situation in the in-house repo). An explicit import is a possibility though. Will update as events warrant.
