Draft: Rubocop custom cop for policy scope usage

What does this MR do and why?

This merge request introduces a new RuboCop cop to enforce proper usage of scopes in policies. The cop checks for conditions that use both user and subject data while specifying a scope, which can lead to security vulnerabilities. The changes also update the documentation to explain the potential risks of incorrectly using scopes in policy conditions.
