Allow filtering by lint

[Manishearth]

Sometimes a specific lint is the bulk of the suggestions. It would be cool if rustfix supported filtering by lint, enabling cargo clippy --fix=absurd-extreme-comparisons or whatever.

also cc @ehuss for thinking about what the UX would be like from cargo's perspective

You can already do this "manually" today with the old -Aall -Wlint hack: cargo clippy --fix -- -Aclippy::all -Wclippy::redundant_clone will only fix redundant_clone warnings. But having a dedicated --only=a,b,c flag or something like that would be bit easier to use for sure. :smile:

For direct rustc invocations this can be achieved using --force-warn=unused_imports -Awarnings. Relevant documentation: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/groups.html https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/levels.html#via-compiler-flag
