Support configuration in pyproject.toml

[colincadams]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Support for pyproject.toml was added to pylint in pylint-dev/pylint#3169. The plugin should support configuration from this file as well, instead of just from .pylintrc.

Describe the solution you'd like

The usable solution is likely to modify the "pylintrc" parameter to instead be "Configuration file" and have it support all configuration file types that pylint supports. Or to support all arguments that pylint supports there.

This is a few years late, but this is currently supported in a non-intuitive way (at least on 0.16.2).

I changed my Pylint plugin setting (Path to pylintrc:) to point it to my pyproject.toml and deleted my .pylintrc file.

Now the Pylint plugin correctly picks up new configuration when I add to the .toml file.

Sample config that I added to my pyproject.tml that I tested with.
