[Feature Request] File based regex rules

[metalshark]

Product Area

The "code-analyzer" CLI

Your Need or Problem

Allow for regex rules to be placed into their own files and referenced from code-analyzer.yml so that they can be more easily shared between projects instead of merging them into existing files.

Your Desired Solution

Lets say we had the rule:

name: Salesforce Code Analyzer Configuration
version: 1.0.0

rulesets: []

engines:
    regex:
        custom_rules:
            ProhibitSuppressWarnings:
                regex: /@SuppressWarnings\([^)]*\)|\/\/\s*NOPMD/gi
                file_extensions: ['.apex', '.cls', '.trigger']
                description:
                    'Prohibits the use of @SuppressWarnings annotations and
                    NOPMD comments in Apex code. Suppressions hide code quality
                    issues; prefer fixing the underlying problems or improving
                    rules instead.'
                violation_message:
                    'Suppression of warnings is not allowed. Fix the underlying
                    issue or improve the rule instead of suppressing violations.'
                severity: 'High'
                tags: ['CodeStyle', 'Recommended']

I would like to take the details of that rule and put them in a different .yaml file, then refer to that .yaml file from code-analyzer.yml

Alternatives Considered

Keep adding rules to code-analyzer.yml like today, using a pre-processor/script ahead of every run, etc
