glab ci lint provides 0 exit code

[bryant-finney]

Description

When using glab client to lint my CI configuration, I expect the command's exit code to reflect the linting results. However, the command returns a 0 exit code, even on linting failure.

Expected Behavior vs Actual Behavior and Steps to Reproduce

$ echo "gibberish" >junk.yml && glab ci lint junk.yml
Getting contents in junk.yml
Validating...
junk.yml is invalid
1 Invalid configuration format

$ echo $?        # expected result != 0
0

Related issue: #911

Possible Fix

curl and httpie both provide flags to return a non-zero exit code based on the HTTP status: --fail and --check-status, respectively. Because this would maintain backwards compatibility, implementing a similar optional argument might make the most sense.
