We should upgrade ESLint to the latest version. There's various fixes and improvements.

Of note:

- v4.15 added support for messageIds, this simplifies rules & tests https://eslint.org/blog/2018/01/eslint-v4.15.0-released
- There's improvements in complexity calculations, though unfortunately a lot of our complexity values have increased.

There's also a change for how eslint-env is evaluated which breaks our xbl files. Seeing as we're working on removing these, the easiest thing is to switch to glob-based config and specify it in the root .eslintrc.js for now.

Bug 1436389 - Update complexity rules to adapt for the algorithm in the new ESLint.

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/218532/#review224338

Is complexity something that it is really useful to lint? All these numbers just seem somewhat arbitrary and I don't know that we're gaining much from them.

We might want to review this at some stage, I think we either need to be actively working to reduce the complexity of a lot of these function (and get people on board), or abandon it for the time being.

I have to say, some of the functions I've seen in relation to this do look excessively complex and I suspect would be hard to understand for people not familiar with the code, and very hard to test.
