Find ignored results of @CheckReturnValue methods

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.staticanalysis.FindIgnoredCheckReturnValueArtifactorg.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-static-analysis

Marks invocations whose result is discarded even though the method is annotated with @CheckReturnValue, either directly or through its enclosing class or package. Any annotation named CheckReturnValue is recognized, and @CanIgnoreReturnValue opts a method or class back out. Ignoring such a result is usually a bug, such as calling a method on an immutable object without using the returned copy. Calls expected to throw, Mockito stubbing and verification, calls on the current instance in custom AssertJ assertion constructors, and code under @SuppressWarnings("CheckReturnValue") are not marked.
