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.

Research direction
Start at the lint command entry point and trace how the .swiftlint config file is loaded and how its parent config is selected. Add support for the --parent-config argument so the supplied path is used during execution, then verify that the command works with a config path from a temporary directory.
