Dbt project must be in the current working directory

Related #597

The current implementation of the dbt templater assumes that the project root is the current working directory. It would be good to have a config to support:

• Having the project in another directory
• Having multiple dbt projects

for example:

dbt_project_roots = ./project_team_1,./project_team_2

This is actually quite painful right now with pre-commit, I tried on our project at Earnest which is in a sub-directory and had to write the following:

          entry: |
            python -c '
            import os
            import sys
            import subprocess as sp

            os.chdir("earnest_shared")
            file_names = [
              f.lstrip("earnest_shared/")
              for f in sys.argv[1:]
            ]
            return_code = sp.run(["sqlfluff", "lint"] + file_names).returncode

            if return_code:
              raise Exception("Some linting issues were found")'

Would also love to see config support for dbt’s --profile-dir argument. This might be easily added to @pvonglehn’s #898?

@andyenkeboll-iex, yes PR #898 will implement support for --profile-dir. Just resolving a few issues in the PR.

I think this issue is resolved now that #898 is merged 👍
