flint 0.0.8

Deactivated absolute_path_linter in default use as there are too many false positives.
New linter unnecessary_nesting_linter.
Add messages for lint() and fix() showing the number of files checked, lints found and/or fixed.

More robust detection of allowed usage of T and F in formulas.
Use the pipe in the replacement for lengths_linter if it was already present in code.

New linters: for_loop_index,missing_argument.
fix() has a new argument force (FALSE by default). This is useful if Git was not detected, fix() would modify several files, and it is run in a non-interactive context. In this situation, set force = TRUE to apply the fixes anyway.
Add cli messages informing how many files are checked, and how many contain lints (for lint_* functions) or were modified (for fix_* functions).
Better coverage of the length_test linter.

New linters: absolute_path, duplicate_argument, empty_assignment, expect_length, expect_not, expect_null, expect_true_false, expect_type, literal_coercion, nested_ifelse, sort, undesirable_operator.
Added a contributing guide.
Better docs for fix() and its variants.
Using fix() on several files without using Git now opens an interactive menu so that the user confirms they want to run fix(). In case of non-interactive use, this errors.
Ignore lines following # nolint for compatibility with lintr.

New linters: expect_named, numeric_leading_zero, outer_negation, redundant_ifelse, undesirable_function, unreachable_code.
fix_dir(), fix_package(), lint_dir(), lint_package() now have arguments to exclude paths, linters, and use cache.
Removed browser linter (it is now part of undesriable_function).
Add support for a flint/config.yml file that contains the list of linters to use so that one doesn’t need to constantly specify them in lint() or fix().

Do not lint for x %in% class(y) where x is not a string as this is not equivalent in some cases. Thanks Vincent Arel-Bundock for spotting this.
