Prefer the newer ES6-style imports over `require()`.

## Examples

<!--tabs-->

### ❌ Incorrect

```ts
const lib1 = require('lib1');
const { lib2 } = require('lib2');
import lib3 = require('lib3');
```

### ✅ Correct

```ts
import * as lib1 from 'lib1';
import { lib2 } from 'lib2';
import * as lib3 from 'lib3';
```

## When Not To Use It

If you don't care about using newer module syntax, then you will not need this rule.
