Allow lint results to be exported as checkstyle xml

[joshkgold]

Based on the popular Checkstyle format, allow lints to be exported to an xml file. Useful for CI servers like Jenkins that can display a Checkstyle report and visualize errors.

Note this is the only bit of R code I've written, out of necessity. Comments and critiques on style and semantics are appreciated.

Thanks for the PR!

I ended up rewriting the majority of this, but your code gave me a good idea of the requirements. The major things I changed were

• Uses xml2 to create the XML rather than doing it by hand.
• Does not try to create a results directory (this does not belong in this function IMHO)
• More lengthy test including multiple source files in results.

Thanks again!

Awesome! I don't even want to know how many minutes you spent overhauling it compared to the hours it took me to write that small piece of code :-)

Thanks for reviewing and improving!
