NOTE: this is a merged version of @mofeiZ's original PR along with my
edits per offline discussion. The description is updated to reflect the
latest approach.
The key problem we're trying to solve with this PR is to allow
developers more control over the compiler's various validations. The
idea is to have a number of rules targeting a specific category of
issues, such as enforcing immutability of props/state/etc or disallowing
access to refs during render. We don't want to have to run the compiler
again for every single rule, though, so @mofeiZ added an LRU cache that
caches the full compilation output of N most recent files. The first
rule to run on a given file will cause it to get cached, and then
subsequent rules can pull from the cache, with each rule filtering down
to its specific category of errors.
For the categories, I went through and assigned a category roughly 1:1
to existing validations, and then used my judgement on some places that
felt distinct enough to warrant a separate error. Every error in the
compiler now has to supply both a severity (for legacy reasons) and a
category (for ESLint). Each category corresponds 1:1 to a ESLint rule
definition, so that the set of rules is automatically populated based on
the defined categories.
Categories include a flag for whether they should be in the recommended
set or not.
Note that as with the original version of this PR, only
eslint-plugin-react-compiler is changed. We still have to update the
main lint rule.
## Test Plan
* Created a sample project using ESLint v9 and verified that the plugin
can be configured correctly and detects errors
* Edited `fixtures/eslint-v9` and introduced errors, verified that the w
latest config changes in that fixture it correctly detects the errors
* In the sample project, confirmed that the LRU caching is correctly
caching compiler output, ie compiling files just once.

Allows assigning a ref-accessing function to an object so long as that
object is not subsequently transitively mutated. We should likely
rewrite the ref validation to use the new mutation/aliasing effects,
which would provide a more consistent behavior across instruction types
and require fewer special cases like this.

Fixes#30782
When developers do an `if (ref.current == null)` guard for lazy ref
initialization, the "safe" blocks should extend up to the if's
fallthrough. Previously we only allowed writing to the ref in the if
consequent, but this meant that you couldn't use a ternary, logical, etc
in the if body.

We infer render helpers as functions whose result is immediately
interpolated into jsx. This is a very conservative approximation, to
help with common cases like `<Foo>{props.renderItem(ref)}</Foo>`. The
idea is similar to hooks that it's ultimately on the developer to catch
ref-in-render validations (and the runtime detects them too), so we can
be a bit more relaxed since there are valid reasons to use this pattern.

Two related changes:
* ValidateNoRefAccessInRender now allows the mergeRefs pattern, ie a
function that aggregates multiple refs into a new ref. This is the main
case where we have seen false positive no-ref-in-render errors.
* Behind `@enableTreatRefLikeIdentifiersAsRefs`, we infer values passed
as the `ref` prop to some JSX as refs.
The second change is potentially helpful for situations such as
```js
function Component({ref: parentRef}) {
const childRef = useRef(null);
const mergedRef = mergeRefs(parentRef, childRef);
useEffect(() => {
// generally accesses childRef, not mergedRef
}, []);
return <Foo ref={mergedRef} />;
}
```
Ie where you create a merged ref but don't access its `.current`
property. Without inferring `ref` props as refs, we'd fail to allow this
merge refs case.

## Summary
While investigating the root cause of #33208, I noticed a clear typo for
one of the validation files.
## How did you test this change?
Inside `/react/compiler/packages/babel-plugin-react-compiler` I ran the
test script successfully:
