remove no-useless-escape from eslint:recommended

See original GitHub issue

2 similar rules:

no-useless-escape was categorized to best practice, and is recommended.
no-extra-parens was possible errors, and is not recommended.

this rule need to be removed from eslint:recommended, given we had been setting a high bar to add new rules(eg. no-eval).

@aladdin-add Feel free to close this if you’re not planning on championing this proposal any longer. It’s been open for half a year now, so we should probably make a decision either way!
