1488445 - Change the ESLint configuration to default to eslint:recommended and clean up old configs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Infrastructure :: Lint and Formatting, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Per bug 1487642 I think we should switch to basing our configuration on eslint:recommended. It helps us get more of the common rules enabled, and simplifies things a little.

Additionally, there's quite a few deprecated or removed rules for ESLint that have been removed from the tree, so we should drop those as well.

Attachment: Bug 1488445 - Change the ESLint configuration to extend from eslint:recommended.

This enables the following extra rules over the current configuration:

- for-direction
- no-compare-neg-zero
- no-new-symbol
- no-this-before-super

Other rules that are in eslint:recommended but not in our configuration are turned off for now.

Attachment: Bug 1488445 - Remove and replace obsolete ESLint rules.

This removes a number of references to rules that are now deprecated or removed from ESLint.

- no-native-reassign is replaced with no-global-assign
- no-spaced-func is replaced with func-call-spacing (where enabled)

Depends on D4944
