My proposal is suitable for this project

• I believe my proposal would be useful to the broader TypeScript community (meaning it is not a niche proposal).

Description

Currently, theproject: true option allows TypeScript-ESLint to auto-detect the tsconfig.json file within each package of a monorepo, however a relatively common setup is to use atsconfig.eslint.json file for eslint setup. This means that instead of being able to utiliseproject: true, each package needs an eslintrc file that points to the project file, or globs need to be used in the base configuration. Neither of these are ideal either for massive duplication reasons or for performance reasons.

Ideally, another option would be added to allow setting the filename that the parser looks for whenproject is set totrue. This would allow utilising atsconfig.eslint.json file without needing to manually define it in all used locations.

This is a repost of@me4502's#7056 to avoid many comments. The comments dig into how to avoid needing this scenario in the first place. They're a good read!
