Local vs. Global installation #6732

Description

@ilyavolodin

This has been brought up many times before, but the resolution was never reached. Currently if you install ESLint globally, all of the plugins need to be installed globally. And visa-versa for local installation. I believe shareable configs do not to be installed globally any more, but will be relative to the configuration file itself.
We've had suggestions to have global installation of ESLint fall back to local, if one is available. Previously we said that team feels that this would be just as confusing as the current behavior. I want to check if that's still the case. We constantly get issues/chat questions about plugin not found error.
