First pass at implicitly propagating a `def basePath: Path` up the `Module` hierarchy, which each module receives and extends.

One constraint is that now must define your abstract modules as `trait`s rather than `class`es, or otherwise add an implicit `ctx: ModuleCtx` parameter to your class definition.

 So far this lets us remove some explicit `basePath` definitions in `build.sc`. Proper handling of `basePath` in `CrossModule`s is future work
