Research direction

Update README.md where shellcheck configuration and the --enable flag are described. Clarify that a .shellcheckrc can configure additional entries, including disable entries, and verify the wording accurately reflects the supported configuration options.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Describe the solution you'd like
A simple README.md update is needed to clarify that in addition to the --enable flag, the .shellcheckrc can be used to configure additional entries.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Linking directly to the shellcheck documentation

Additional context
Allow for passing cli args directly through to shellcheck

Other shellcheck flags can not be passed through.

Which is true, but is misleading to those looking for an option to set disable entries.
