Hide utility class constructor

Recipe IDorg.openrewrite.staticanalysis.HideUtilityClassConstructor
Artifactorg.openrewrite.recipe:rewrite-static-analysis

Ensures utility classes (classes containing only static methods or fields in their API) do not have a public constructor. Instantiating a utility class is almost certainly a mistake, and a private constructor makes that intent clear while preventing misuse.
