"bazel info install_base" not working outside a workspace

### Description of the problem / feature request:

Running `bazel info install_base ` doesn't work outside workspaces. But some of parameters aren't workspace-specific, I think, like `install_base`, `release` and jvm info.

### Feature requests: what underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?

> get a hold of bazel binaries like `linux-sandbox`

### Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

```sh
$ bazel info install_base
Extracting Bazel installation...
ERROR: The 'info' command is only supported from within a workspace (below a directory having a WORKSPACE file).
See documentation at https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/build-ref.html#workspace
```

### What operating system are you running Bazel on?

> NixOS

### What's the output of `bazel info release`?

> release 4.2.1- (@non-git)

### If `bazel info release` returns "development version" or "(@non-git)", tell us how you built Bazel.

> NixOS nixpkgs

Reproduce `bazel info install_base` outside a directory containing a WORKSPACE file, then trace the `bazel info` command entry point and compare it with the requested workspace-independent parameters. Done means `install_base`, `release`, and JVM information work outside a workspace while workspace-specific queries retain their existing requirements.
