Description
Please allow for multiple --wordlist options on CLI.
This will be useful for users having multiple dictionaries, without the need to combine them in one. Also allows for single kernel initialization in one execution cycle over multiple dictionaries.
Currently this can be achieved through pipes, either with --stdin (no rules) or --pipe (memory allocation errors in some builds). Inbuilt support will yield max performance in this situations.

Research direction
Start by tracing the CLI handling of repeated --wordlist options and the execution path that currently processes one dictionary. Compare it with the --stdin and --pipe paths mentioned in the issue. Done means multiple dictionaries work in one invocation without requiring pipes and retain single kernel initialization.
