Bazelisk does not honor locally installed bazel version

[davido]

On our CI docker we install Bazel version from the official Debian image, that corresponds to the .bazelversion file, by using official Bazel version:

https://releases.bazel.build/1.0.0/rc2/bazel_1.0.0rc2-linux-x86_64.deb

In the same time we install bazelisk, version 1.0 on CI docker image.

If I run bazelisk build :release and .bazelversion is 1.0.0rc2, and locally the right version of Bazel is installed, I would expect that Bazelisk is smart enough, to use that version.

What happens, is yet another instance of Bazel is downloaded by Bazelisk:

davido@wizball:~/projects/gerrit$ bazel version
Build label: 1.0.0rc2
Build target: bazel-out/k8-opt/bin/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/bazel/BazelServer_deploy.jar
Build time: Fri Sep 6 12:17:09 2019 (1567772229)
Build timestamp: 1567772229
Build timestamp as int: 1567772229

davido@wizball:~/projects/gerrit$ which bazel     
/usr/bin/bazel

davido@wizball:~/projects/gerrit$ cat .bazelversion 
1.0.0rc2

davido@wizball:~/projects/gerrit$ bazelisk build java/com/google/gerrit/server:server

And now yet additional Bazel version was downloaded by Bazelisk and is located here:
