Look for jboss-cli.xml in current directory.

The jboss-cli.xml file provides configuration for running CLI.

By default, CLI looks for this file first using the system property "jboss.cli.config", where the value is the fully-qualified path and file name.

Next, it tries to find a file named "jboss-cli.xml" in the JBOSS_HOME/bin directory. 99% of the time, this is the way the file is found.

When using the jboss-cli-client.jar, we are running on a machine where AS7 is probably not installed. Therefore, there is no JBOSS_HOME.

So, CLI should also look in the current directory for jboss-cli.xml.
