Description
I am adding files and directories to the root of the project very conservatively.
Since Cargo.toml already allows to enable/disable lints, it would be natural to be able to configure their options right there rather than needing a separate clippy.toml file.
For example, I'd really like to be able do this:
[workspace.lints.clippy]
unwrap_used = { level = "warn", allow-unwrap-in-tests = true }

Research direction
Start by comparing the requested [workspace.lints.clippy] settings in Cargo.toml with the existing clippy.toml configuration path. Trace how lint options are currently read, then establish done as equivalent options being accepted from Cargo.toml without requiring a separate clippy.toml file.
