How to custom the servicePath prop when running built-in commands

[hoang-innomize]

This is a Feature Proposal

I wanted to custom the service path when running built-in serverless commands such as deploy, package. Right now, it always set to .serverless

Description

• I had a mono-repo that contains some micro-services written in TypeScript, each micro-service has it own serverless.yml file
• Then when running any serverless command, I will have to provide --config option i.e. sls package --config /users/serverless.yml. Since we use serverless-webpack plugin to bundle the TS files so if we run the serverless command inside each service directory, we will get an error
• I wanted to build multiple services parallel to speed up my deployment time, however, if I run same serverless command i.e. package some files created by package command will be overridden because it writes to the same directory which is .serverless.
• The package command currently writes the files to the .serverless directory then move to target package directory (use --package package-dir option)

So my question is how can change the default service path .serverless (the value of serverless.config.servicePath property)?

Here is an error sometimes occurs when running package command parallel for multiple services

     For debugging logs, run again after setting the "SLS_DEBUG=*" environment variable.
