get it twice, sorry)

I thought I hit the same thing, but it is just a somewhat obfuscated
change, I think. The settings for --{enable,disable}-{checker,msg-cat,msg}
moved from the "MASTER" section to the "MESSAGES CONTROL" section.
This is (somewhat) indicated in pylint --help. Unfortunately it looks
like pylint --generate-rcfile omits options with no value set and
entire sections if they have no options set, so it took me a while to
figure this out.

Not sure how that could be improved, but a way to generate a complete
rcfile (even including unset and default settings) might be helpful
(or is that already there and did I just miss it?)
