Be able to run `devbox info xxx` without a project `devbox.json` file

What problem are you trying to solve?

I would like to use the command line to get info about a nix package without having a devbox.json file in my current directory (as I use devbox only for installing system wide tools (devbox global xxx)) (currently this gives an error message: "Error: no devbox.json found in the current directory (or any parent directories)")

What solution would you like?

I would like to be able to always run devbox info xxx and see the info of xxx package.

Alternatives you've considered

Possible duplicate of #2275
Both issues request the ability to run devbox info outside a project directory (without a devbox.json).
If appropriate, it might make sense to consolidate the discussion in #2275. Thanks!
