ESLint v8.27.0 released

Highlights

• The new no-new-native-nonconstructor rule protects against newing BigInts and Symbols, which would throw an error. The existing no-new-symbol rule only checks for new Symbol. no-new-native-nonconstructor will take the place of no-new-symbol in eslint:recommended in the next major release.
• The new no-empty-static-block rule disallows empty ES2022 class static initialization blocks.
