Update eslint configuration

- remove plugins which prevent upgrading eslint
- update the configuration based on the one from cucumber-expression
- update a piece of code to make linting happy

Note: some rules have been deactivated to make the update of eslint
possible without breaking our build. Those rules may be deactivated
later as part of dedicated pull requests.
