In AS 3.6 beta5, you cannot use custom lint checks provided by a module. (Custom lint checks provided by a dependency *do* work.)

I reproduced the issue with Timber (https://github.com/JakeWharton/timber) which is known to have functional custom lint checks.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the Timber project.
2. Open `LintActivity` in the timber-sample module.
3. Uncheck all the suppressions.
4. From the command line, run `$ ./gradlew :timber-sample:lintDebug`. It should find a ton of issues.
5. However, if you go back into Android Studio, you should not see any lint detections in `LintActivity`.
6. You can also run "Inspect code" on `LintActivity`; it will also not detect any issues.

If you go into `timber-sample/build.gradle` and edit it so that the Timber implementation is remote instead of local (e.g. `implementation 'com.jakewharton.timber:timber:4.7.1'`), then the lint checks above work. Thus, it's only a problem if the lint check module is local.
