This PR adds new Style/RedundantSelfAssignmentBranch cop.
It checks where conditional branch makes redundant self-assignment.

# bad
foo = condition ? bar : foo

# good
foo = bar if condition

Redundancy for self-assignment to elsif may also be detected in future, but this PR implements ternary operator-centric detection.


Before submitting the PR make sure the following are checked:

  • The PR relates to only one subject with a clear title and description in grammatically correct, complete sentences.
  • Wrote good commit messages.
  • Commit message starts with [Fix #issue-number] (if the related issue exists).
  • Feature branch is up-to-date with master (if not - rebase it).
  • Squashed related commits together.
  • Added tests.
  • Ran bundle exec rake default. It executes all tests and runs RuboCop on its own code.
  • Added an entry (file) to the changelog folder named {change_type}_{change_description}.md if the new code introduces user-observable changes. See changelog entry format for details.

This PR adds new `Style/RedundantSelfAssignmentBranch` cop.
It checks where conditional branch makes redundant self-assignment.

```ruby
# bad
foo = condition ? bar : foo

# good
foo = bar if condition
```

Redundancy for self-assignment to `elsif` may also be detected in future,
but this PR implements ternary operator-centric detection.

Nice! Usually this is a bug, because #foo is an instance method being shadowed. 👍
