[New sniff] No wordpress.org allowed in Theme URI

Rule type:

Error

Rule:

ERROR | Verify - in style.css that the Theme URI does not point to wordpress.org (with predefined list of themes which are exempt and live under the wordpressdotorg user or have a check based on Author name.

Rule as it is found in the handbook.
There is no specific rule on this.

Theme check file covering this rule:

https://github.com/Otto42/theme-check/blob/master/checks/uri.php

Decision needed:

If we are striving to have rules for sniffs the following rule should be considered.
Selling, credits, and links

• Using a WordPress.org Theme URI is reserved for official themes.

Notes for implementation:

• This sniff will rely on the WordPress_AbstractThemeSniff Class to get the $sniff_helper array.
• Testing will require that a style.css file is in the same folder as the test file.

To do:

• Decision and implementation to add the rule in the Theme Review handbook to the Requirements page.
• Create unit tests
• Create new sniff
• Adjust existing WPCS / PHPCS sniff and send in PR upstream.
• Add existing sniffname sniff to the ruleset.

I have this sniff ready to go, however it uses the $sniff_helper array from the proposed WordPress_AbstractThemeSniff class.

Can we add underscores.me as well? It would block some placeholders.

Is this covered in Theme Sniffer @timelsass ? I have the strangest feeling it is.
