avajs/ava#2103 changes how test files and helpers are selected. This impacts our no-ignored-test-files and no-import-test-files rules.
I suggest we add an eslint-helper file to the main ava package. It should take care of reading the config (accepting a project directory argument). The rules should then be able to call a function to determine whether something is a test or helper file.
There may be other places where we try to resolve AVA config. We should move those to ava/eslint-helper as well.
