`consistent-return` Treat `return void ...` the same as `return;`

What version of ESLint are you using?

2.8.0

What parser (default, Babel-ESLint, etc.) are you using?

Default

Please show your full configuration:

root: true

env:
  es6: true
  node: true

extends:
  "eslint:recommended"

rules:
  consistent-return: "error"

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue.

Wrote a function with a callback that returns early when an error is found:

log(level, message, meta, callback) {
  let recipientId = _.get(meta, 'recipientId');
  if (!recipientId) {
    return void callback(new Error('No recipient ID'));
  }

  // Other code that doesn't return anything ...
}

Returning the callback is nice because it saves a line, but I want to guarantee the function returns nothing (thus the use of void).

What did you expect to happen?

No error.

What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from ESLint.

error Expected to return a value at the end of this method consistent-return

Sounds reasonable to me, but I think it should go behind an option. 👍
