Auto-detect original ESLint file in any form
🚀 Feature Request
Following #58, https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring states:
Configuration Files - use a JavaScript, JSON or YAML file to specify configuration information for an entire directory and all of its subdirectories. This can be in the form of an
.eslintrc.*file or aneslintConfigfield in apackage.jsonfile, both of which ESLint will look for and read automatically, or you can specify a configuration file on the command line.
Existing Behavior
tslint-to-eslint-config will only look at .eslintrc.js by default if not explicitly told a path.
https://github.com/typescript-eslint/tslint-to-eslint-config/blob/2b48234f58b2fd75f3baf5017692c79d79a70942/src/cli/runCli.ts#L44
Change Proposal
Add a function dependency to runCli that determines the initial script path for ESLint, such as .eslintrc.js, .eslintrc.yml.
The tricky part here will be supporting package.json eslintConfig...
Not so tricky part, just read the package.json file and check if it has the key eslintConfig using the resolveJsonModule compiler option to read json files.
This read should be the fallback behaviour in case of missing .eslintrc.* file, otherwise, throw an error.
