Description
### What is the current behavior?
_No response_
### Describe the feature
Infer is a static analyzer for Java and the C-family (C/C++/Objective-C). It reports potential bugs such as null pointer issues, resource/memory leaks, missing lock guards, and concurrency race conditions (depending on language / checker). It is designed to be run against code by providing Infer a build command for the sources being analyzed.
Having Infer available in `rules_lint` would make it easier to standardize this kind of bug-finding in CI and local workflows alongside other analyzers already supported.
