* The compare to empty string checker (``pylint.extensions.emptystring``) has been removed and its checks are
  now part of the implicit booleaness checker:

  - ``compare-to-zero`` was renamed ``use-implicit-booleaness-not-comparison-to-zero``
    and it now need to be enabled explicitly.
  - The ``pylint.extensions.compare-to-zero`` extension no longer exists and
    needs to be removed from the ``load-plugins`` option.

This permits to make the likeness explicit and will provide better performance as they share most of their
conditions to be raised.
