Description

In the [latest TSLint's release](https://github.com/palantir/tslint/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v5130), they marked `RuleWalker` as deprecated. Apparently, [RuleWalker-based rules are slow and should be avoided](https://github.com/palantir/tslint/issues/2522). Considering this, what should we do with the current rules? @mgechev @wKoza
