Show subcategories

Please add an option to show subcategories of the various categories displayed upon using the --categories command line option. Perhaps --subcategories can take a category argument, e.g., :

shipshape --subcategories error-prone

This is going to be somewhat difficult. Some of the analysis tools do not make the subcategories easy to determine. There are others that create the subcategory dynamically.

We could add a "GetSubcategories" call to the individual analyzer API...

Yes, the problem is how the analyzers actually implement that. Most of the open source analyzers do not make getting this easy. Additionally, it implies that there is a static list. It prevents analyzers from being able to dynamically generate subcategory names.
