[REPLACE] eslint-plugin-import → eslint-plugin-import-x

[lishaduck]

Neither one supports ESLint 9.
However, eslint-plugin-import-x is (subjectively) easier, (objectively) lighter weight, and (likely) faster.
I propose migrating, slapping a fixupPluginRules on it, and praying it works.

Heh, i'm kind of conflicted on this one.
After the work done in #208 and #219, all of our 7 eslint-plugin-import rules are now working correctly in ESLint v9.
I'm not exactly sure what tangible value eslint-plugin-import-x would provide for us right now.

I'll leave this issue up, so we track the progress of eslint-plugin-import-x and if it really get substantially ahead of eslint-plugin-import in some significative way, we'll make the switch.

Oh, import-x merged ESLint 9/TSESLint 8 compat (not yet released though).
We don't need to fix what ain't broke, but just an fyi.

Blocked on those other issues before considering this, but Sukka mentioned this in the last link: https://github.com/9romise/eslint-import-resolver-oxc
Looks sweet, if we do switch we might consider swapping out the resolver too.

[AndreaPontrandolfo]

I tested it. It is indeed 10X faster. But it's a very young project, so it's probably not worth it to switch now, too many things that could go wrong.
It's probably just better to wait for un-ts/eslint-plugin-import-x#150 and un-ts/eslint-plugin-import-x#40 and see if they implement it under-the-hood themselves.

UPDATE: https://github.com/un-ts/eslint-plugin-import-x/releases/tag/v4.5.0

I think we can give eslint-plugin-import-x and eslint-import-resolver-oxc a try.

Im not putting this very high in my priorities list right now, but PRs on this are now accepted.
