ESLint v5.16.0 released

Highlights

Formatters can now use rule metadata in their output! This enhancement was originally described and designed using our RFC process. More information can be found here.

A new built-in formatter, json-with-metadata, was created using this new feature. The json-with-metadata formatter is very similar to the json formatter, except that it also includes the rule metadata.
