forbidigo: better support for configuring complex rules

forbidigo 1.4.0 introduced a new configuration mechanism with multiple fields
per rule. It still supports a single string, but allowing structs as
alternative to such strings makes the configuration easier to read and write.

A new global flag is needed to enable the more advanced analysis.
