Remove unused private fields

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

If a private field is declared but not used in the program, it can be considered dead code and should therefore be removed. Dead fields clutter the class, increase its memory footprint, and can mislead developers into thinking they are part of the class's behavior.
