Description

Ideally we'd have each disabled set of hints (e.g. generalise, teaching) in their own section in the summary, saying they are disabled.

Research direction
The issue requests that disabled hint groups (e.g., 'generalise', 'teaching') appear in their own section in the generate summary output, marked as disabled. To implement, locate the summary generation code, likely in hlint's main entry point or a separate module. Then, iterate over disabled hint groups and add a section for each. Check comments or linked PRs for any previous attempts; there are none. The maintainer may have additional requirements.
