How do you think the change should be implemented?

A new default behavior

Example code

/* eslint max-statements: ["error", 1] */

function withBraces() {
    if (a) { b(); }
}

function withoutBraces() {
    if (a) b();
}

function withSwitch(x) {
    switch (x) {
        case 1:
            a();
            b();
            c();
            break;
    }
}

What does the rule currently do for this code?

Only withBraces is reported. The same two statements without braces, and the statements in withSwitch, are not counted at all.

What will the rule do after it's changed?

Statements are counted whether or not they are wrapped in a block, so all three functions are reported.
