prefer predefined assertion over equivalent lookarounds

• ⚙️ This rule is included in "plugin:regexp/recommended".

📖 Rule Details

All predefined assertions (\b, \B, ^, and $) can be expressed as lookaheads and lookbehinds. E.g. /a$/ is the same as /a(?![^])/.

In most cases, it's better to use the predefined assertions because they are better known.
