Integrating configuration into `Cargo.toml` about cargo-cranky

[Nemo157]

Not just nightly, 1.74 which is going to beta in a week has that feature stabilized.

Good point, it never occurred to me to put the configuration in Cargo.toml.

Do guidelines exist for how third-party tools should organize their configuration data? Should a tool called cargo-cranky keep its config data under package.metadata.cranky?

nightly now supports a top level lints in Cargo.toml, c.f. rust-lang/cargo#12115

The usefulness of cargo-cranky will steeply diminish soon, unless cranky decides to add more features not found in nightly.

IMO package.metadata.cranky would be better, but package.metadata.lints also makes sense, and it isnt going to have clashes any time soon because most people will be using the new nightly lints table soon.

That's great news! I'll update the README when 1.74 comes out.
