Repository: eslint/eslint (js)

Issue:
prefer-object-spread should discuss spec availability
the [prefer-spread](https://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-spread) page helpfully discusses the fact that it's new to ES2015, but there is no such info on the [prefer-object-spread](https://eslint.org/docs/rules/prefer-object-spread) page which makes it read like people should be able to readily use it.

unfortunately, it's new to [ES2018](https://github.com/tc39/proposal-object-rest-spread), and even then, going by the [MDN page](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Spread_syntax#Spread_in_object_literals), Edge & Safari don't yet support it.

 When Object.assign is called using an object literal as the first argument, this rule requires using the object spread syntax instead. This rule also warns on cases where an `Object.assign` call is made using a single argument that is an object literal, in this case, the `Object.assign` call is not needed.
