Rubocop: Feature request: add an option to Layout/ExtraSpacing rule for table aligned arguments

[mdesantis]

I have this Rails migration:

class CreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.2]
  def change
    create_table :users do |t|
      t.citext :email,           null: false, index: { unique: true }
      t.citext :username,                     index: { unique: true }
      t.string :password_digest, null: false

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

Layout/ExtraSpacing complains on t.citext :email, null: false, index: { unique: true } line because there's too much space; but I like how they are aligned. I'd love if Layout/ExtraSpacing rule had some kind of AllowTableStyleArgumentsAlignment option in order to allow this kind of alignment.

Expected behavior

t.citext :email, null: false, index: { unique: true } line in the example above shouldn't complain if some kind of AllowTableStyleArgumentsAlignment option is enabled

Actual behavior

t.citext :email, null: false, index: { unique: true } line raises Layout/ExtraSpacing rule violation

Hi, I would just like to second this. This is a major source of annoyance for me and I wish there were some way to have rubocop recognize parameters intentionally aligned this way.
