> Require the `g` flag on a regular expression passed to `replaceAll()`

`replaceAll()` throws a `TypeError` when its regular expression doesn't have the `g` flag. The code parses and only fails when that line runs.

The rule checks a regular expression literal, `new RegExp()` and `RegExp()`, written in the call or kept in a variable. If the flags aren't a plain string, it can't tell and reports nothing. A string argument is fine, because `replaceAll()` replaces every occurrence of it.
