My agent pointed out that bazel-contrib#3133 is not actually a bug put just a user-error. Gazelle resolves the root manifest paths relative to each `BUILD` file, so the directives in bazel-contrib#3133 example need a `../` prefix. This documents the path base and relative manifest lookup. Closes bazel-contrib#3133.
