See: eslint/eslint#5761

Rule to throw when the identify function is used as the success handler of a Promise or the "throw function" is used as the failure handler of a Promise.

// The identity function is the default success handler for a promise, it can be ommitted
something.then(function (value) {
  return value;
});

// and

// propagating the error is the default error handler fro a promise, it can be ommitted

something.then(null, function (err) {
  throw err;
});

// or

something.catch(function (err) {
  throw err;
});

It helps users to understand how promise values propagate.

Usually when people write .catch(err => { throw err; }) they intend to throw the error into the next tick to make sure it's reported, not to add a no-op to the end of their promise chain.
