Feature Request: allow users to build their own set of rules

Preface

Repost of a discussion from Slack: https://github.com/roaldnefs/salt-lint/issues/19#issuecomment-541280250.

Description

Allow the user to specify additional/custom rules when running salt-lint. ansible-lint also includes such a option, which could serve as an example because this project is based upon the ansible-lint project:

  -r RULESDIR           specify one or more rules directories using one or
                        more -r arguments. Any -r flags override the default
                        rules in ['/path/to/ansible-
                        lint/lib/ansiblelint/rules'], unless -R is also used.
  -R                    Use default rules ['/path/to/ansible-
                        lint/lib/ansiblelint/rules'] in addition to any extra
                        rules directories specified with -r. There is no need
                        to specify this if no -r flags are used
