Revisit "must camel case identifiers" lint warning on by default #3618

I like camel casing types that came from #3060, but sometimes I feel the warning is a little too strict. I'm porting erickt/rust-crypto to 0.4, and it has complicated enum variants like AES_256_ECB, which don't read nicely as Aes256Ecb. I ran into the same thing updating rust-elasticsearch, where I converted DFS_QUERY_THEN_FETCH to DfsQueryThenFetch, which made me sad.

I heard @graydon has some reservations with this lint checker on by default, so I figure maybe we should talk this through if it's not a settled issue. What does the community think about turning this into an opt-in lint? Or if that ship has already sailed, what about allowing types, traits, and variants to have _ in them?
