Feature Request: ESLint hooks rule for accessing previous state when deriving new state

[Samuel-Therrien-Beslogic]

#21448

A very common mistake and source of bugs in React applications is not using the updater function when deriving new state from old state.

When using class components, there is a handy lint rule for this in the eslint-plugin-react project.

However, their rule does not work for functional components that utilize useState, and they have suggested that eslint-plugin-react-hooks would be a more appropriate home for an equivalent lint rule that does work with hooks.

I've seen this mistake made countless times, and I even fall victim to it every once in awhile, so having an officially sanctioned lint rule would be amazing!
