"eslint --ignore-path" should accept multiple file paths

See original GitHub issue

Current, eslint --ignore-path accept only one ignore file, it is useful if .gitignore and .eslintignore could be used together.

As of ESLint v4.14.0, --ignore-path command line argument is accepting path::String, is is proposed to change to [path::String], so addition files could be included.

Here is an actual usecase.

I want eslint to only check files I can modify so I do --ignore-path .gitignore. But additionally I don’t want eslint to check my flow-typed annotations.

The only way I can do this now is to copy everything from .gitignore to .eslintignore and add flow-typed/* there. But then I have to always add lines to .gitignore and .eslintignore every time I want to ignore something.

This is kinda minor but I would love to know about a better way

@ilyavolodin .gitignore + .eslintignore is a really common case. I’ve got a vendor directory in source control and I want to ignore my /build directories etc.

Currently both ignore files are in the root of the repo so it’s less important that relative paths are preserved.
