Ignore self binding in `prefer-prototype-methods`

See original GitHub issue

this.foo.bind(this) and foo.bar.bind(foo) is very common.

Even though ClassName.prototype.method.bind(this) make more sense, many people still prefer the old way as they are shorter and not really “borrowing” method, should we ignore it or check under an option?

Agreed. We can add an option if someone asks.

Was actually going to open an issue and then saw this. I’m also disabling this rule. At the very least, an option for self binding would be nice
