Description

### Type of issue

Missing information

### Description

In the later sections of the page, many external analyzers are mentioned, but `Microsoft.Extensions.StaticAnalysis` is completely absent. I assume that this is because that project/package is somewhat new, and the docs here were never updated to mention it.

Instead of initially pushing people towards random third-party packages, the docs should first propose using `Microsoft.Extensions.StaticAnalysis` as a best practice.
