Find constant predicates that are always true or always false

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.sql.antipattern.FindConstantPredicate
Artifactorg.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-sql

A comparison whose operands are both constant, such as 1 = 1 or 1 = 0, evaluates the same for every row regardless of the data. Combined with OR an always-true constant makes the whole condition always true, so every row matches and the other filters are ignored; an always-false constant used as a filter can never be satisfied, so the query returns nothing. An always-true constant on its own or joined with AND, a common query-builder idiom, is not flagged.
