New rule: no-global-regex-flag-to-query #559
Description
Name for new rule
no-global-regex-flag-to-query
Description of the new rule
The rule would warn when a user uses the global regex flag to search for text/name.
A regex that uses the global flag holds the lastIndex state when it found a match, due to this it could be that a new match can't be found.
See testing-library/dom-testing-library#1116 for the fix within DTL, where we added a log when we detect this.
