Option to specify format options directly through CLI args

[UtkarshVerma]

I use yamlfmt in my NVIM setup. I want to avoid creating a config.yaml and instead configure the formatting behaviour through the CLI args instead. Most other formatters already support this.

For example, to set the max_line_length, I just wish to do the following:

yamlfmt --max-line-length=80 in.yaml

yamllint has the -d flag which would also seem apt for my use case.

Thanks for making an issue!

This would be harder than it sounds. I could do it, but I would need to redesign how the tool actually discovers its config.

As a quicker thing, the tool does support using a .yamlfmt file in the system-wide config directory. It's not quite as convenient for a neovim config as cli flags would be, but it would be easier than having to make a .yamlfmt for every directory.

I think I've come up with a sane way to do this now, it will be in the next release.

This is merged! You can try it out by installing from main: go install github.com/google/yamlfmt/cmd/yamlfmt@main or wait til v0.9.0 release which I'm aiming to do next week.
