Failed to select a version for `clap`

I'm aware that structopt is currently in maintainence mode. I still want to report this issue caused by a change in the upstream.

To reproduce:

$ cargo new project
$ cd project
$ cargo add structopt -F lints
    Updating crates.io index
      Adding structopt v0.3.26 to dependencies.
             Features:
             + lints
             - color
             - debug
             - doc
             - no_cargo
             - paw
             - paw_dep
             - suggestions
             - wrap_help
             - yaml
error: failed to select a version for `clap`.
    ... required by package `structopt v0.3.26`
    ... which satisfies dependency `structopt = "^0.3.26"` (locked to 0.3.26) of package `tesstructopt v0.1.0 (/tmp/tesstructopt)`
versions that meet the requirements `^2.33` (locked to 2.34.0) are: 2.34.0

the package `structopt` depends on `clap`, with features: `lints` but `clap` does not have these features.

lints was removed from clap in clap-rs/clap@2bb9180

Its unclear why that was considered safe to do in the 2 series. I assume it was intended only for local development of clap and wasn't intended for anyone else to use.

You can either remove lints or specify an older clap version like cargo update -p clap --precise 2.33.3

Thanks! Migrating to clap is really easy.
