Find when (x) expressions without an else branch

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.kotlin.bestpractices.FindWhenWithoutElse$KtRecipe
Artifactio.moderne.recipe:recipes-kotlin

A when (x) used as an expression requires exhaustiveness — without an else, the compiler can only prove it for sealed/enum selectors. Used as a statement, the missing else is a tripwire: any new variant silently falls through. Flag for review.
