.bazelproject with bazel_binary: bazelisk does not seem to work

[vorburger]

In salesforce/bazel-eclipse#477 there was a previous discussion re. the whole bazel and bazelisk and what not "bootstrapping story".

https://github.com/salesforce/bazel-vscode-java/blob/main/docs/troubleshoot.md#bazelisk has documentation I wrote about this.

It's been working OK for me locally, but I'm now for fun exploring GitHub Codespaces, and I have reason to believe that a .bazelproject with bazel_binary: bazelisk somehow actually does not seem to work.

If you grab https://github.com/enola-dev/enola/pull/354/files, as of 5317b786bb26f871a6469a90b00c3bab69a727b0, it's "not working", and the log has the java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "bazel": error=2, No such file or directory thing - it appears it's ignoring the bazel_binary: bazelisk which is in in .bazelproject on that PR at that commit (but not on the main branch of that repo, yet).

This isn't blocking, because I can probably work around and hack something for a bazel instead of a bazelisk to be symlink, in a set-up script, later maybe with a Dev Container.

@guw just wanted to let you know, in case this is something you want to look further into; feel free to close.

enola-dev/enola#544 is a somewhat related issue stating that it didn't work for @lbovet who "had bazelisk but not the bazel symlink".
