Move old one (--print-ast) option to be a ktlint sub command - new syntax:
ktlint printAST. Old one --print-ast is still working, but
deprecated.

May I ask what's the reasoning behind using a camel-cased command name instead of good old '--do-something' pattern for CLI tools? The old way just looks more natural imo.

Main reason to move into subcommands direction - reduce user confusion and make command line usage more clear.

For example, now with only options, it is not clear if using --print-ast option will also do linting.

Though I am open to subcommand name changes as I don't have strong opinion here.
