Description

New Issue Checklist

Feature Request

I would like to add --parent-config argument to the lint command. That way we don't have to specify the parent-config: inside of the config file. The use case for this is that the parent config path is not known ahead of time and I need to pass it in from a temporary directory where it is pulled and I don't control the path of the directory.

This is how it would look

swiftlint lint --parent-config "path/to/config"

It would add the parent config to the .swiftlint config file it reads during execution.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how the ` config` argument is implemented in the CLI and config loading. Identify the entry point for the `lint` command and extend it to accept ` parent config`. Then pass the parent config path to the configuration reader.
