Current problem
There are breaking changes that could impact the configuration file and make our live as maintainer easier. Asking the user to upgrade their configuration files make most breaking chance impossible. I we can upgrade the configuration file automatically it's easier to make the configuration consistent and easier to maintain. For example a migration to pyproject.toml only instead of maintaining setup.cfg, pylintrc (ini) and pyrpoejct.toml.
Desired solution
New subcommand pylint --auto-upgrade-conf
to upgrade the configuration file.
Additional context
The new framework for configuration file would help to implement this greatly, we would add an auto-upgraded expected result.
