Changes code to use Java 17's instanceof pattern matching

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

Adds pattern variables to instanceof expressions wherever the same (side effect free) expression is referenced in a corresponding type cast expression within the flow scope of the instanceof. Currently, this recipe supports if statements and ternary operator expressions. Pattern matching for instanceof collapses the type check, cast, and variable declaration into a single expression, reducing boilerplate and eliminating the risk of an incorrect cast.
