Provide more specific error message for `StrictUsedVariable` check based on unused variable type
Fixes https://github.com/palantir/gradle-baseline/issues/2361
Before this PR
Turns out this was just a confusing error message. Previously, a code snippet like
public class Test {
private final String myField;
public Test(String myField) {
this.myField = myField;
}
}
would result in an error message
error: [StrictUnusedVariable] The field 'field' is never read. Intentional occurrences are acknowledged by renaming the unused variable with a leading underscore. '_field', for example.
private String field;
^
(see https://github.com/palantir/gradle-baseline#baseline-error-prone-checks)
Did you mean to remove this line?
If you applied the fix from the error message, checks would fail because the field is read but has 'StrictUnusedVariable' suppressed because of its name (prefixed with an underscore).
But really, the correct fix is suggested below the code snippet/link - to remove the field (Did you mean to remove this line?).
