Checks for redundant safe navigation calls.

@@ -5321,6 +5321,15 @@ for which to suppress (allow) this cop's check.

In the example below, the safe navigation operator (`&.`) is unnecessary

because `NilClass` has methods like `respond_to?` and `is_a?`.

The `InferNonNilReceiver` option specifies whether to look into previous code

paths to infer if the receiver can't be nil. This check is unsafe because the receiver

can be redefined between the safe navigation call and previous regular method call.

It does the inference only in the current scope, e.g. within the same method definition etc.

The `AdditionalNilMethods` option specifies additional custom methods which are

defined on `NilClass`. When `InferNonNilReceiver` is set, they are used to determine

whether the receiver can be nil.
