…rror code (#7931) Returning 2 here is confusing as it doesn't match the documentation: https://pylint.pycqa.org/en/latest/user_guide/usage/run.html#exit-codes * pylint: use exit code 32 when invalid arguments are passed * pylint: add failing test when ambiguous abbreviated parameters are set in a config file This is confusing behaviour. The output is: ``` usage: pylint [options] pylint: error: ambiguous option: --no could match --notes, --notes-rgx, --no-docstring-rgx ``` The exit code is 2 which doesn't match the documentation: https://pylint.pycqa.org/en/latest/user_guide/usage/run.html#exit-codes * pylint: use exit code 32 when ambiguous abbreviated parameters are set in a config file Co-authored-by: Pierre Sassoulas <pierre.sassoulas@gmail.com> (cherry picked from commit 62232b3)
