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.

React Compiler
React Compiler is a compiler that optimizes React applications, ensuring that only the minimal parts of components and hooks will re-render when state changes. The compiler also validates that components and hooks follow the Rules of React.
More information about the design and architecture of the compiler are covered in the Design Goals.
More information about developing the compiler itself is covered in the Development Guide.
