New SCM Feature: Specify Rule Level

I’ve just added a feature to the SCM codebase: you can now specify the auditor to only use rules from a given level.

This means if you want to concentrate on just the Critical problems, you can tell SCM to use --rule-level critical, and it will only run the audit rules that are marked as being critical. If you’ve got a lot of audit issues, this can help you focus on specific problems.

Alternately, you might want to just run the Info rules to learn about the environment, and don’t want any noise about Warnings or Errors. No problem: --rule-level info

You can chain some rule levels together if you want to see just Warnings and Errors, or Info and Critical, or any combination you want.

The default is still to run all the rules you load.
