[tools] Remove unused lint exceptions

These exceptions do not describe any infractions, so their presence
gives an inaccurate picture of where rules are being ignored.

It was tempting to extend the linter to enforce this whenever the --all flag is used, but there are a handful of generic exceptions that we'd have to remove (e.g. CR AT EOL: *.jpg). The convenience of not having to maintain those probably outweighs the benefit of enforcing utilization of every exception.

Then again, there may be a case for hard-coding generic exceptions like that into the application itself...
