Cannot provide Background steps for more than one Rule

[dpresiana]

Current behavior

Adding more than one Background steps within one feature file, even when each Background is within different Rule section resolves in error

expected: #EOF, #TableRow, #DocStringSeparator, #StepLine, #TagLine, #ScenarioLine, #ScenarioOutlineLine, #Comment, #Empty, got 'Rule: ***'
(32:9): expected: #EOF, #TableRow, #DocStringSeparator, #StepLine, #TagLine, #ScenarioLine, #ScenarioOutlineLine, #Comment, #Empty, got 'Background:'

Desired behavior

Different Background steps should be supported within different Rule section. Cucumber documentation: https://cucumber.io/docs/gherkin/reference/#background

You can only have one set of Background steps per Feature or Rule. If you need different Background steps for different scenarios, consider breaking up your set of scenarios into more Rules or more Features.

Test code to reproduce

Feature: Test Multiple Backgrounds
      Rule: First Section
           Background: First Background
               Given: Do something for the first scenario

           Scenario: Test first section
                 When I do something 
                  ...

      Rule: Second Section
           Background: Second Background
               Given: Do something for the second scenario

           Scenario: Test second section
               When I do something 
                ...

It seems the real reason is that Rule: is not supported at all. See #143

@dpresiana You can probably try Cytorus which supports multiple rules. Check this for an example

Due to personal reasons, the previous maintainers of this package are stepping down and handing the reigns over to me, a long-time contributor to the project and a user of it myself. This is a responsibility I'm very excited about. Furthermore, I'd like to thank @lgandecki ++ for all the work that they've done so far.
