require-meta-type does not work if create is not a function

[MrHen]

The following does not fail linting:

/* eslint eslint-plugin/require-meta-type: error */

function create(context) {
	// ...
}

module.exports = {
	meta: {}, // should fail
	create
};

---

/* eslint eslint-plugin/require-meta-type: error */

const create = (context) => {
	// ...
}

module.exports = {
	meta: {}, // should fail
	create
};

---

It looks like the utility for checking if a file contains a rule has a hard check for create being a function. Is this check necessary? Can I submit a PR to either:

• Allow identifiers on the right side of create even if they are not functions?
• Or follow identifiers on the right side of create if they reference a function in the same file?

personally I prefer the second, but I'm fine either way. PRs are welcome! 😄

Awesome, I should have time this week to whip something up.
