Always print lints from plugins, if they're available

Currently you can get a list of lints and lint groups by running `rustc
-Whelp`. This prints an additional line at the end:
```
Compiler plugins can provide additional lints and lint groups. To see a
listing of these, re-run `rustc -W help` with a crate filename.
```

Clippy is such a "compiler plugin", that provides additional lints.
Running `clippy-driver -Whelp` (`rustc` wrapper) still only prints the
rustc lints with the above message at the end. But when running
`clippy-driver -Whelp main.rs`, where `main.rs` is any rust file, it
also prints Clippy lints. I don't think this is a good approach from a
UX perspective: Why is a random file necessary to print a help message?

This commit changes this behavior: Whenever a compiler callback
registers lints, it is assumed that these lints come from a plugin and
are printed without having to specify a Rust source file.
