description:
lint: on request, keep the preprocessor output

Previously, the simplest way of getting the preprocessed translation
unit was to run lint with the additional flag -V, which outputs the
command line of the C preprocessor, among other things.  That command
line does not include the proper quoting though, so it cannot be used
verbatim as a shell command if the command line contains spaces such as
in -Du64="unsigned long long".

In the common situation where lint is run via a Makefile, the option -V
had to be added in the Makefile itself since there is no make variable
for additional user-settable lint flags.  This is not straight-forward
enough.

Adding another command line option for this purpose would reduce the
remaining namespace for options.  Most of the 52 letters are already
used up.

To make this situation as simple as possible, preserve the output of the
C preprocessor depending on an environment variable.
