New rule request

1. Why should this rule be added? Share links to existing discussion about what the community thinks about this.

From many WWDC21 talks around SwiftUI & async/await, a common practice was ensuring that an ObservableObject was run on the main actor by marking the class with @MainActor

2. Provide several examples of what would and wouldn't trigger violations.

Good

@MainActor
class ViewModel: ObservableObject {
    //...
}

@MainActor
class SomeOtherThing {
    //...
}

Bad

class ViewModel: ObservableObject {
    //...
}

3. Should the rule be configurable, if so what parameters should be configurable?

nothing at this time

4. Should the rule be opt-in or enabled by default? Why? See README.md for guidelines on when to mark a rule as opt-in.

I think this rule should be opt in. async/await & actors are not yet fully supported on all iOS versions so lots of code would need to adapt for this rule to be useful.
