Fixes #237. Similar to #480.

This is an optional feature for anyone who adds these marker comments to their rule docs, typically in a ## Config or ## Options section:

<!-- begin auto-generated rule options list -->
<!-- end auto-generated rule options list -->

Rendered example of the table/list that will be generated:

Name Description Type Choices Default Required Deprecated
bar Choose how to use the rule. String always, never always Yes
foo Enable some kind of behavior. Boolean false Yes

Based on this schema:

[{
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "foo": {
            "type": "boolean",
            "description": "Enable some kind of behavior.",
            "deprecated": true,
            "default": false
        },
        "bar": {
            "description": "Choose how to use the rule.",
            "type": "string",
            "enum": ["always", "never"],
            "default": "always"
        }
    },
    "required": ["bar"],
    "additionalProperties": false
}]

Note that rule option lists are experimental / subject-to-change as we add support for more kinds and properties of schemas. To fully take advantage of them, you'll want to ensure your rules have the meta.schema property fleshed out with properties like description, type, enum, default, required, deprecated.

Future follow-up features to consider:
