🚀 New and noteworthy

🌟 New and changed rules

New Rules

• The new Apex rule QueueableWithoutFinalizer detects when the Queueable interface
  is used but a Finalizer is not attached. Without attaching a Finalizer, there is no way of designing error
  recovery actions should the Queueable action fail.
