this PR implements eslint/prefer-arrow-callback rule, passes all upstream tests (39 pass + 68 fail cases, 51 autofix snapshots).

Highlights:

  • Honors allowNamedFunctions and allowUnboundThis options (defaults match ESLint).
  • Strips .bind(this) chains during autofix and re-wraps the arrow in parens when needed (member access, logical/binary operands).
  • Handles optional chaining (function?.bind(this), foo?.(...)) and parenthesized callbacks.

issue #479

AI Disclosure: I used AI (Claude) to help with Rust idioms and oxc internals. All output was reviewed locally; cargo test -p oxc_linter, cargo clippy -p oxc_linter --no-deps, and cargo fmt --check are clean.

Super thanks! 👍

Ports the ESLint `prefer-arrow-callback` rule, including the
`.bind(this)` chain stripping and wrap-in-parens logic so arrow
operands of member, logical and binary expressions stay syntactically
valid. Supports `allowNamedFunctions` and `allowUnboundThis` options
(`allowUnboundThis` defaults to `true`, matching ESLint).
