Support for S1193: Exception types should not be tested using "instanceof" in catch blocks

S1193 fall under the CODE SMELL
category, but I think it is worthwhile to implement it because the processor corresponding to this rule would have a similar implementation to what is done in #703. However, there is one caveat. We won't be able to fix if the type of catch variable is Exception
. It might be possible to know which instances of the Exception
can be thrown inside a try-block, but it would require us to also parse signatures of the method invoked; which might not be available everytime.
