Issue:
struct-tag: support "properties" tag
"properties" was added to the [well-known struct tags on Go wiki](https://go.dev/wiki/Well-known-struct-tags#list-of-well-known-struct-tags)

- https://github.com/golang/go/issues/72759

- https://github.com/golang/wiki/pull/44

It could be added to revive to the very sane way TOML support was added recently to [struct-tag](https://github.com/mgechev/revive/blob/master/RULES_DESCRIPTIONS.md#struct-tag) rule

- https://github.com/mgechev/revive/pull/1255

Here is the documentation of the format of this tag

https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/magiconair/properties#Properties.Decode

Based on my understanding of the code and documentation only the following options are supported
- "-" ignored
- "default" (without it a field is required)
   Note: There is a special notation using `;` for slice/array default value.
- "layout" (only for time.Time type)

cc @magiconair (properties lib owner)


Pull request:
feature: add support for properties tag in struct-tag rule
Closes #1269 

type checking default values for slices is omitted on purpose (might be added later)

A PR for cleaning up the whole rule's code will follow
