        New Rules

  * The new Apex rule |QueueableWithoutFinalizer|
    <https://docs.pmd-code.org/pmd-doc-7.8.0/pmd_rules_apex_bestpractices.html#queueablewithoutfinalizer>
    detects when the Queueable interface
    is used but a Finalizer is not attached. Without attaching a
    Finalizer, there is no way of designing error
    recovery actions should the Queueable action fail.
