Robocop 1.1.0

Robocop 1.1.0 introduces new rule, moves existing rule to another group and enhances --list feature. Details:

Changes to rules

• Added "mixed-tabs-and-spaces" rule for verifying if file does not contain both tabs and spaces
• Renamed "ineven-indent" rule to "uneven-indent". Moved "uneven-indent" and "bad-indent" rules from misc to spacing group.
  This is not backwards compatible change - the rule IDs change from "0904" and "0905" to "1007" and "1008" respectively

Enhanced --list CLI option

• Added option to pass glob pattern to --list

robocop --list some-rule*

• Added --list-configurables option to list rules with their configurable parameters

Other

• Updated examples in external-checkers.rst

Acknowledgements

• Szabolcs Tóth who created "mixed-tabs-and-spaces" rule and updated our docs
