Format rule request: Remove all semicolons at the end of lines

[adbertram]

I know some people love their semi-colons at the end of lines like in C# but it's not necessary for PowerShell. I'd love to take someone else's code and format the document to remove all of the semicolons from it.

Maybe this is better suited for PSScriptAnalyzer? I'd suggest posting this feedback here: https://github.com/PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer

Part of the implementation would happen in the PowerShell extension so I'd say we can leave the issue here for tracking purposes.

This could be a good example of using $psEditor. :-)

@bergmeister I feel like this can all be handled in PSSA via Formatting. What do you think?

[bergmeister]

@TylerLeonhardt Yes, there is already an open issue: PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer#824
It should be a small to medium sized task (half a day for someone who knows a bit about PSSA and maybe a full day for a newbie) but personally, I do not see much value and more a 'nice to have', therefore it's up for grabs :-)
If someone wants to start on it, just give me a ping and I can write up a few tips/gotchas about PSSA's formatter legacy (like e.g. the fact that the engine has the formatting rule names to execute hard-coded to avoid the circular reference because the rules know about the engine but not the other way around...)

@bergmeister thanks for the response and for linking the issue where this is being tracked, I will go ahead and leave this open as way to track the work that would need to happen to allow this to be a configuration in vscode

Anyone who wants to pick this up can use Remove-Semicolon from EditorServicesCommandSuite as guide. Implementing it in PSSA won't be as simple, but that should give an idea of what you're looking for.

Edit: Might be a good idea to make the bot that adds "Needs: Attention" exclude maintainers.
