The traditionnal way of handling these options is to use --no-reports to replace --report n and to keep --reports to mean --reports y. Using the presence of the option to toggle the value is confusing.

The =[yn] syntax should still be supported for compatibility reasons, to avoid breaking fex Eclipse+pydev usage of pylint.

I am backing out 692:8c66ea05839d to return to the previous behavior. Next time we will do it right.
