Building plugin and running demo app fails if plugins has a surrounding gradle build

[madmas]

Environment
Provide version numbers for the following components (information can be retrieved by running tns info in your project folder or by inspecting the package.json of the project):

• CLI: 6.0.3
• Cross-platform modules: 6.0
• Android Runtime: 6.0.2
• iOS Runtime: 6.0.2
• Plugin(s):

Describe the bug

When building an Plugin which uses gradle to encapsulate the NPM setup, running the demo app fails due to the error message:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Project directory '[...]/plugin/demo/platforms/tempPlugin/nativescript_plugin' is not part of the build defined by settings file '[...]/settings.gradle'. If this is an unrelated build, it must have its own settings file.

To Reproduce

• Create a new plugin using the seed
• add a surroungind gradle multi-module build that includes /plugin in the settings.gradle file
• try to run the demo app in /plugin/demo

Expected behavior

• Plugin can be built and demo runs flawlessly.

Additional context

I'll add a PR to solve this as it implies only adding a settings.gradle file to the gradle-plugin contained in nativescrip-cli .

Hi @madmas ,
Thanks for logging this issue and for the effort of creating a PR.

Could you please attach a sample project/archive that represents the setup you are using to reproduce the issue, so that we can verify the fix.
