Can be used for `.ruby-version` file lookup in the ancestry of a
specific directory. In this mode of operation, global version files
aren't taken into consideration, and the command fails unless a local
version file was found.
It's not that this is a preferred way to set a global version (one
should use `rbenv global <version>` instead), but this fixes the
function purely for correctness: all parent directories should be
scanned, even the root directory.
Fixes#745
finding_local_version_file is extremely slow, when working directory is under the UNC path.
Because //host/.rbenv-version and //.rbenv-version do not exist, but testing them is so slow.
It's the reason to make a serious delay of the response, when the Ruby runs with a current working directory under the UNC path under Cygwin environment.
