An upgrade of [eslint-plugin-rxjs](https://github.com/cartant/eslint-plugin-rxjs) to support modern TypeScript and ESLint. ie, Flat Config as well as legacy config.

Since some rules have better implementations in other more generic ESLint packages, they have been removed and noted here as to the appropriate replacements.

The tests have been upgraded to use standard TypeScript and ESLint test helpers.

All existing unit tests pass.

This plugin now works with both Flat Config and Legacy Config. Pay attention to the example below.

## Install

Install the ESLint TypeScript parser using npm:

``` bash
npm install @typescript-eslint/parser --save-dev
```

Install the package using npm:

``` bash
npm install @smarttools/eslint-plugin-rxjs --save-dev
```

Configure the `parser` and the `parserOptions` for ESLint. Here, I use a `.eslintrc.js` file for the configuration:

### Flat Config

``` js
const rxjs = require('@smarttools/eslint-plugin-rxjs');

module.exports = [{
  files: ['**/*'],
  plugins: {
    rxjs,
  },
},{
  files: ['**/*.ts'],
  // languageOptions here
  rules: {
    'rxjs/no-async-subscribe': 'error',
    ...etc.
  },
}];
```

### Legacy Config

``` js
const { join } = require("path");
module.exports = {
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  // parserOptions here
  plugins: ["@smarttools/rxjs"],
  extends: [],
  rules: {
    "@smarttools/rxjs/no-async-subscribe": "error",
    ...etc.
  }
};
```

Or, using the `recommended` configuration:

Note: The recommended configuration uses rules that require type checking. You will need to supply the parsing options as specified in the [TypeScript ESLint documentation](https://typescript-eslint.io/docs/linting/type-linting/).

### Flat Config

``` js
const rxjs = require('@smarttools/eslint-plugin-rxjs');

module.exports = [
  rxjs.configs.recommended,
  {
    files: ['**/*.ts'],
    plugins: {
      rxjs,
    },
  },
  // additional rules
];
```

### Legacy Config

``` js
const { join } = require("path");
module.exports = {
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  // parserOptions here
  extends: ["plugin:@smarttools/rxjs/recommended-legacy"],
};

```
