Misconfigured @defer triggers

Reports misconfigured @defer block triggers that may lead to unexpected behavior.

The inspection detects the following issues:

The immediate trigger makes additional triggers redundant
Prefetch triggers have no effect when immediate is used
Prefetch timer delay that is greater than or equal to the main timer delay
Prefetch triggers that match the main trigger and provide no benefit

Example:

@defer (on immediate; on hover) {
  <!-- 'hover' trigger is redundant -->
}

@defer (on timer(1000); prefetch on timer(2000)) {
  <!-- Prefetch won't run before main trigger -->
}

@defer (on interaction(btn); prefetch on interaction(btn)) {
  <!-- Prefetch provides no benefit -->
}
