This pull request seeks to remove custom ESLint rules which were implemented at a time where the package pattern was first being introduced. Previously, attempting to import from 'element' instead of from '@wordpress/element' would work, but bloat bundle sizes in the process. These days, however, the former import statement simply does not work (a build error will occur).

By removing these custom ESLint rules, we avoid one additional step required when adding new packages. Notably, these rules don't encompass all current packages anyways.

Testing instructions:

Verify that changing any import to remove @wordpress/ prefix does not build.

Yes, it makes a lot of sense now given that you would have to use very weird syntax like:
`import Button from '../../../components/src/button'

We still use it for mocks in tests though... However, it's an exception which was meant to be temporary 😅

Anyway, I think that we can remove those ESLint rules.
