Do you want to submit a pull request to make the new rule?

Yes

Start with the requested prefer-top-level-configure rule and the Testing Library global configuration utility, comparing the failing and OK examples for @testing-library/dom and @testing-library/react. Done means calls to configure inside a test are reported while top-level calls are accepted.
