rustc_session: allow overriding lint level of individual lints from a group

Fixes rust-lang#58211 and fixes rust-lang/rust-clippy#4778 and fixes rust-lang/rust-clippy#4091

Instead of hard-coding the lint level preferences (from lowest to highest precedence: `lint::Allow -> lint::Warn -> lint::Deny -> lint::Forbid`), the position of the argument in the command line gets taken into account.

Examples:
1. Passing `-D unused -A unused-variables` denies everything in the lint group `unused` **except** `unused-variables` which is explicitly allowed.
1. Passing `-A unused-variables -D unused` denies everything in the lint group `unused` **including** `unused-variables` since the allow is specified before the deny (and therefore overridden by the deny).

This matches the behavior that is already being used when specifying `allow`/`deny` in the source code.

 $ rustc lib.rs --crate-type=lib -D missing-docs -A unused-variables
 ```
 
+The order of these command line arguments is taken into account. The following allows the `unused-variables` lint, because it is the last argument for that lint:
+
+```bash
+$ rustc lib.rs --crate-type=lib -D unused-variables -A unused-variables
+```
+
+You can make use of this behavior by overriding the level of one specific lint out of a group of lints. The following example denies all the lints in the `unused` group, but explicitly allows the `unused-variables` lint in that group:
+
+```bash
+$ rustc lib.rs --crate-type=lib -D unused -A unused-variables
+```

 ### Via an attribute
 
 You can also modify the lint level with a crate-wide attribute:
