the CLI help text should list what default paths are looked at for configuration files #262

Describe the Change You Would Like

Currently if I type puppet-lint --help in search of where the default configuration files are located at, I am confronted with an overly simplistic line that tells the obvious that the option overrides the default path for configuration.

The only place where I can currently find that information is in the README file in the git repository which is not close at all for most users.

The help text should mention which default paths are looked up, in which order, and with what relationship between files in that order (meaning that later files override values from previous ones) -- like it is done in the readme file.
