Description

New Issue Checklist
Feature or Enhancement Proposal

Allow automatically using .swiftlint.yaml in addition to .swiftlint.yml (note the different extensions).

I don't care which one is selected over the other if both exist, it would just be nice to be able to have all my YAML files use the same extension (without having to manually reference config files in command line), but some tools automatically use only .yml while some others automatically use only .yaml.

YAML officially recommends .yaml.

Research direction

Start by locating SwiftLint's automatic configuration-file discovery entry point and the existing handling for .swiftlint.yml. Verify how .swiftlint.yaml should be selected when present, including the case where both files exist, and confirm completion with the relevant configuration-loading tests or command-line behavior.
