depstar doesn't respect tools.deps with-dir context

Some more context on this: https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/11027/should-tools-build-functions-respect-with-from-tools-alpha

TL;DR: tools.build uses a *project-root* dynamic var and when it calls down into t.d.a to calculate a basis, it uses with-dir to pass that context on, so using with-dir in build.clj is... questionable practice. However, that means that depstar's t.b.a-compatible functions jar and uber are not entire compatible since they don't resolve paths via that *project-root* and that still leaves the problem that non-tools.build code that invokes depstar programmatically could use with-dir and mess with depstar's handling of paths.

Probably the "right" solution here is for depstar to also have a "project root" concept and to ensure everything is correctly resolved based on that and then for it to use with-dir to bind that context when calling into t.d.a to calculate a basis and for the t.b.a-compatible API to bind depstar's project root to t.b.a's *project-root*... Potentially a lot of work (for a project that I really want to retire once tools.build has its uber task sorted out!).

Since this pretty much only affected me and I have a workaround, I'm closing this out.
