Description
Problem
Currently I still need a clippy.toml in the latest stable as I cannot pass arguments to clippy lints like disallowed_methods in the [lints] table in the Cargo.toml. There is prior art with the unexpected_cfgs lint as that sets check-cfg = [..args], but I don't see anything similar for clippy lints that also receive arguments.
Proposed Solution
Add an args or similar entry to the [lints.specific-lint] table that allows passing arguments to clippy (or have clippy read from the Cargo.toml for the configured arguments).
Notes
I believe that like rust-lang/cargo#14521 , there is no support for this currently.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how clippy.toml currently configures argument-bearing lints and how Cargo.toml handles the [lints] table, especially the existing unexpected_cfgs check-cfg support. Compare the related rust-lang/cargo#14521 discussion. Done means a documented Cargo.toml configuration can pass arguments to clippy lints such as disallowed_methods without requiring clippy.toml.
