Title: knockout 3.2 component binding context $root

In component template, the `$root` still refers to the absolute root view model of my app, instead of the top view model in my component definition. I could still use `$parents[n]` to get where I want, but this is kind of annoying.

A new binding context property like `$componentRoot` would be helpful. Any thought?
