Create a global override of issues severity.

Hi,

Right now when using TSLint.MSBuild, all issues are reported as errors. I understand this is a tslint problem (palantir/tslint#345) that will be fixed at some point, but right now this issue prevents me from using tslint.

Most of the issues raised by other linters/analysers in my projects are warnings, and I do not want errors to show up for spacing issues.

There might be another way of doing this I am not aware of, if not, would you consider adding a msbuild property (something like TSLintTreatErrorsAsWarnings) for this purpose ?

Cheers

Having a build property for this is a good idea.

It would be better to have it as something like TSLintErrorsSeverity, with a default to error severity. That way we could also treat them as logs, etc.

I agree it'd be better to have a parameter for severity.
I would be glad to look into this if you want.
Let me know !
