Issue:
Inherit api-linter comments from parent
Say I have a service:

```
service Stuff {
  rpc ViolatesRule7() returns (google.protobuf.Empty) {}
  rpc AlsoViolatesRule7() returns (google.protobuf.Empty) {}
  rpc ThisTooViolatesRule7() returns (google.protobuf.Empty) {}
 ...
}

```
I want to attach the api-linter: core::007::rule-seven-violatoin=disabled comment to ALL of these RPCs, so I might want to list it at the service level:

```
// (-- api-linter: core::007::rule-seven-violation=disabled --)
service Stuff {
  rpc ViolatesRule7() returns (google.protobuf.Empty) {}
  rpc AlsoViolatesRule7() returns (google.protobuf.Empty) {}
  rpc ThisTooViolatesRule7() returns (google.protobuf.Empty) {}
 ...
}
```

It appears that this does not work.
