Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The couple of CLI options -language and -version are used to specify the language version to use when discovering a file for that language. They're virtually not documented, only work when they're specified together (and otherwise just don't do anything, but that doesn't produce a warning), and are not repeatable. Ultimately we could just use a single option and make it repeatable.
The option -min is a single-dash option for --minimum-priority. However, GNU style options allow to combine multiple single-dash options, so -min means actually -m -i -n. While we don't support this combination, keeping -min would prevent us from ever doing so.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Introduce a new option --use-version (as per [core] Migrate CLI to using GNU-style long options #3424) which has arity 2 (language AND version number). It would be used like --use-version java 16.
• Maybe make it repeatable if it's easy enough.
• Deprecate -language and -version.
• Deprecate -min in favor or --minimum-priority
