New rule: padded-object

Please describe what the rule should do:

seems like we have been lack of linting blank lines in multiline object properties.

What category of rule is this? (place an “X” next to just one item)

[x] stylistic

Provide 2-3 code examples that this rule will warn about:

/* padded-object: ["error", "never"]*/
var foo = {

  bar: 0

}

/* padded-object: ["error", "both"]*/
var foo = {
  bar: 0
}

Why should this rule be included in ESLint (instead of a plugin)?

This rule seems like a fairly universal and common requirement. It meets all the core rule guidelines.

I’m wondering if we should just add this into padded-blocks. (Yes, we’re completely stretching the definition of what a “block” is, but the rule already does that by including class bodies and switch statements.)

Ideally, if an issue is open for long enough, it gets reviewed by the team. However, we get a lot of feature requests and we wouldn’t realistically be able to implement and maintain all of them, so we err on the side of not accepting proposals after awhile unless there is a clear consensus in favor accepting them. In this case, there wasn’t a strong consensus one way or the other, so I closed the issue.

If this is still something you’d like to advocate for, feel free to open a new issue.
