Short Alias for --no-ignore

[ghost]

--no-ignore is, in my experience, one of the most common flags one would want to pass to ripgrep, but unfortunately it doesn't have a single character alias for its option. Obviously you can just add it by creating an alias under a different name, but it's annoying to do that on every system. It would be great if ripgrep supported such an option out of the box.

-u is basically the short option for --no-ignore. It's documented separately because it behaves differently when used more than once, but -u by itself is the same as --no-ignore

Aye, yeah, the short flag for --no-ignore is -u. And in particular, -u can be used repeatedly to progressively disabled smart filtering. -u disables ignore file filtering. -uu disables hidden file filtering. And -uuu disables binary file filtering.

The docs for --no-ignore should definitely mention the -u flag here.
