array-type doesn't consider "this" to be a simple type

[stogle]

Bug Report

• TSLint version: 5.2.0
• TypeScript version: 2.2.1
• Running TSLint via: CLI

TypeScript code being linted

public children: this[];

with tslint.json configuration:

{
    "extends": "tslint:recommended",
    "array-type": [true, "array-simple"]
}

Actual behavior

ERROR: test.ts[x, y]: Array type using 'T[]' is forbidden for non-simple types. Use 'Array' instead.

Expected behavior

No warnings reported, since this should be considered a simple type along with e.g. object, number and string. See #2351

agreed, this should be a really simple PR for anyone looking to contribute!
