Warning message when deploying because of dependency on `serverless`

[saadtazi]

This is a minor annoyance

Description

With serverless installed globally, I updated it using serverless i -g serverless to 1.82.0, I now get the following message on a project (with multiple serverless.wml files) using sls deploy --stage prod for example (first output of the command):

Serverless: Deprecation warning: Local installation of Serverless detected. Starting with next major version, CLI will run it instead of globally installed version.
            Set "enableLocalInstallationFallback" to "true" to switch to new behavior now, set to "false" to keep current behavior and hide this message
            More Info: https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/deprecations/#LOCAL_INSTALLATION_FALLBACK

Once I remove this package and install a serverless.yml that doesn't need this plugin, No warning message.

Nothing is broken, just a little bit annoying...

Maybe:

• remove the hard dependency on serverless package here, if possible and maybe switch it to a peerDependency (if that's still a thing...)
• is there a dependency on a specific version of version that would prevent from removing the dependency from package.json?

Similar or dependent issues:

• didn't find any

Additional Data

• Serverless Framework Core Version you're using: 1.82.0
• The Plugin Version you're using: 2.17.2
• Operating System: macOS
• Stack Trace: n/a
• Provider Error messages: n/a

Thank you!

some clarifications: I have the following structure:

/project/
    package.json <-- where serverless-step-functions and other plugins are in `dependencies`
    api/
        service1/
            serverless.yml
        service2/
            serverless.yml
        ...
    pipeline/
        p1/
            serverless.yml <-- where serverless-step-function is used
    ...

Installing serverless in api/package.json will not work if I do cd service2/ && sls deploy ...(sls: command not found). I would have to install serverless under service1/, service2/`... which doesn't seem to be very efficient.

I'm also seeing the same issue, and this is the only Serverless plugin that I use that declares a dependency in this way.

Sorry i forgot to auto close this within the PR that was done. But this should be fixed now.
