Want to point out that at the moment fvm is hard to use for modular Flutter projects.

For example, even in a quite simple case (with not that many modules) like the one below, calling fvm flutter --version inside the project root and client_app would result in different versions being printed since none of the sub-projects have their own .fvm directory. The first one will print a proper project-level flutter version while the second one will print the global default flutter version.

A real-life example of a (somewhat) modular project structure (none of the sub-projects have .fvm directory):

I believe that it won't be hard to make fvm look for the ./fvm/flutter_sdk not only within the current directory but also within some N levels of parent directories.

This would allow for a neat flutter version scoping that, in turn, will make both the issue's case and modular project cases work well.

@leoafarias Do you see any caveats in the algorithm explained above?
