Description

If a lint scripts exists in package.json, run it after bumping the version field, and before publishing.

Is the feature request related to a problem?

Kind of. It makes the expiring-todo-comments eslint rule really helpful. You can put TODOs in the code like this one, which basically say "don't forget to do XYZ before the next major version". Then the lint task will automatically fail if you do forget about it.

Obviously, it'll also catch various other problems that might not otherwise be known about.

Possible implementation

Not sure exactly. Ideally it'd be able to go into prerequisite-tasks.js, but that might not be workable if the version has to be bumped first.

Alternatives

Manually put "npm run lint" in the "prepack" script. Short of that, hope that developers have good memories.
