🐛 Impossible to satisfy biome.json schema for rules with no options

What happened?

Specify an object instead of a string for a rule that does not include any options. For example, when configuring the "fix" level for "noUnusedImports".

{
  "$schema": "https://biomejs.dev/schemas/1.8.0/schema.json",
  "linter": {
    "rules": {
      "correctness": {
        "noUnusedImports": {
          "level": "error",
          "fix": "unsafe"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The json schema validation will surface a warning on the "noUnusedImports" line: Missing property "options".

I can't figure out any way to supply an "options" property that will satisfy schema validation:

• "options": {} "options has an incorrect type, expected no value, but received an object"
• "options": null "options has an incorrect type, expected no value, but received null"
• "options": undefined "Value expected"

Is there a way for an "options" property that has no possible values to be optional?

Expected result

It should not warn about a missing "options" property for rules that are not configurable with an options property.
