Vscode-eslint: Feature Request: "Global Rule Severity" Setting

[ashrafhadden]

Issue
Most ESLint Shared Configs (ex. AirBnB, StandardJS) use "error" as their default rule severity. I use large eslint-config's through VSCode and prefer to have all of my ESLint Problems (VSCode's "Problems" Window under View menu) show up as warnings since they are almost all style-related. This allows me to keep all of my _actual_ error Problems (i.e. syntax errors) separate from my style Problems. Currently I have to find and replace all "error" with "warn" in my eslint-config's or maintain massive .eslintrc files to override all the "error"'s.

Proposed Solution
Add a "Global/Maximum Severity" option in VSCode Settings that overrides all other rule severities.

I wasn't sure which repo was more relevant to this issue so I also posted in vscode's repo.

Two years into this, any champion willing to make another attempt?
