The paths starting with slashes in the ESLint config examples are absolute, which are almost never the correct configuration for a project. Using a relative path is a much more common configuration, and leads to much less debugging why these examples don't work.

This PR re-includes ESLint with some notable changes, namely a guided setup similar to how TypeScript is instantiated in a Next.js application.
To add ESLint to a project, developers will have to create an `.eslintrc` file in the root of their project or add an empty `eslintConfig` object to their `package.json` file.
```js
touch .eslintrc
```
Then running `next build` will show instructions to install the required packages needed:

Once installed and `next build` is run again, `.eslintrc` will be automatically configured to include the default config:
```json
{
"extends": "next"
}
```
In addition to this change:
- The feature is now under the experimental flag and requires opt-in. After testing and feedback, it will be switched to the top-level namespace and turned on by default.
- A new ESLint shareable configuration package is included that can be extended in any application with `{ extends: 'next' }`
- This default config extends recommended rule sets from [`eslint-plugin-react`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-react), [`eslint-plugin-react-hooks`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-react-hooks), and [`eslint-plugin-next`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@next/eslint-plugin-next)
- All rules in [`eslint-plugin-next`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@next/eslint-plugin-next) have been modified to include actionable links that show more information to help resolve each issue
