ESLint plugin to force responsive media elements to set the width/height attributes

Motivation

The Web has been using tags to load images since ancient times. However, the tag does not have any attribute to embed the aspect ratio. As a result, the size of the responsive img element cannot be determined until the browser fetches the image from the network and finishes loading, and there is a problem that Layout Shift occurs on the page.

To solve this problem, the idea of computing the layout using the width and height attributes has been proposed and is starting to be implemented in browsers.

- Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1547231
- Safari: https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/254669/webkit

This plugin forbids media element without an explicit size attributes to prevent Layout Shift from occurring.
