Supply directory names at command line to search

Related Python linting tools like pep8, flake8 and pydocstyle will accept a mixture of filenames and directory names (e.g. ., Tests or Tests/). When a directory is given, they appear to recurse under it and lint any matching files (here presumably using *.py).

I would like to be able to run commands like rst-lint *.rst Scripts/ Tests/ or just rsl-lint . and have it recurse under the given directories to find *.rst files. This pattern might be set by a new optional argument.

Support for this has been added in 1.2.0 via @dhruvsomani in #48

flake8 doesn’t support wildcard expansion. Here’s some example commands to verify that:

$ flake8 *.py --verbose
flake8.plugins.manager    MainProcess    102 INFO     Loading entry-points for "flake8.extension".
...
flake8.checker            MainProcess    129 INFO     Making checkers
flake8.checker            MainProcess    132 INFO     Checking 2 files
...

$ flake8 '*.py' --verbose
flake8.plugins.manager    MainProcess     97 INFO     Loading entry-points for "flake8.extension".
...
flake8.checker            MainProcess    121 INFO     Making checkers
