Offer a corrective recommendation when a check has a warning or error

When a check has a warning or an error, we should offer a corrective recommendation on what they should do to try to address the issue.

For instance, "Files detected with different MIME type" as an error message would be more helpful if it indicated which files had incorrect extensions and how to resolve the error.

Maybe it can be added an option verbose giving more information?

@danielbachhuber do you have any specific ideas about how you'd like to see this implemented? What if another field (recommendation, explanation, suggestions or something) was added that isn't enabled by default but can be by using the --fields option? I'm guessing some of the text could get pretty long.

Yes, this is what I was thinking. We should keep recommendations relatively concise, but we can always link to supplemental documentation.
