The "type-empty" rule does not work properly.

See original GitHub issue

When using the type-empty rule the separator : is still required.

Expected Behavior

If the type is empty and the scope, there is no need to specify the : separator.

echo 'Toto' | commitlint #true
echo ': Toto' | commitlint #false

Current Behavior

module.exports = {
    extends: ['@commitlint/config-conventional'],
    rules: {
        'type-empty': [2, 'always'],
    },
}

echo 'Toto' | commitlint #false
echo ': Toto' | commitlint #true

Affected packages

cli
core
prompt
config-angular

Possible Solution

A solution would be either to add a new rule (separator-empty) or to make the type-empty rule remove the : separator.

Ah ok, yeah, that makes sense. You have a link to that config?
