Feature Request: `curly` rule should optionally ignore unnecessary braces

What version of ESLint are you using? v2.9.0

What parser (default, Babel-ESLint, etc.) are you using? default

I think the curly rule should have an option to relax complaints about unnecessary braces. Many style guides have rules to enforcing the use of curly braces, but few of them enforce the removal of braces. It’s often desirable to allow the programmer to add additional braces at his/her discretion.

Here’s what I understand this proposal to be:

1. The rule should warn when curlies are required but are missing.
2. The rule should not warn when curlies are present but are not required.

Assuming that’s the correct description of the proposal, please indicate your support by adding a 👍 to this comment.

@kaicataldo That’s a great management practice.
