Add more infomation about LintStore registration

Backstory: I somehow missed the fact that I needed to register a lint pass in order for it to run, and I spent some time confused until I figured it out. So I wanted to make it clear that a missing `register_(early|late)_pass` call is a likely cause of a lint not running.

+As one may expect, there is a corresponding `register_late_pass` method
+available as well. Without a call to one of `register_early_pass` or 
+`register_late_pass`, the lint pass in question will not be run.
+
+One reason that `cargo dev` does not automate this step is that multiple lints 
+can use the same lint pass, so registering the lint pass may already be done
+when adding a new lint. Another reason that this step is not automated is that
+the order that the passes are registered determines the order the passes 
+actually run, which in turn affects the order that any emitted lints are output
+in.
