Add --tee option to split report output stream.

The --tee option allows the linter report to be written to stdout, even
though it is being redirected to a file with the --output-file option.
This is useful if I want to store the report in a separate file for later
analysis but also be able to print the output on screen (e.g when running
in a CI environment).
