[Chore]: enable @typescript-eslint/no-floating-promises

[jsjoeio]

What is your suggestion?

To enable a new ESLint rule: @typescript-eslint/no-floating-promises

Why do you want this feature?

We believe it would have prevented issues like #5442 and any future issues related to floating promises.

Are there any workarounds to get this functionality today?

Manually checking code myself to see if we have any floating promises.

Are you interested in submitting a PR for this?

Yes, but it might take some work. I did some initial investigation. See below:

To add this rule, we need to:

1. adjust our .eslintrc.yaml file

2. remove --max-warnings=0 from lint.sh
3. fix all 16 errors

Because of an issue in ESLint -- eslint/eslint#15010 -- it's not possible to both ignore files from being linted without eslint counting them as warnings in CLI output.

BUT that assumes we don't want to lint test files. If we do, we need to add the "./test/tsconfig.json" to project.

Here are all 32 errors found by the linter (including test files):

We should probably add no-misused-promises as well
