Two comparisons should be converted to a range check

Reports two consecutive comparisons that can be converted to a range check.

Checking against a range makes code simpler by removing test subject duplication.

Example:

  fun checkMonth(month: Int): Boolean {
      return month >= 1 && month <= 12
  }

The quick-fix replaces the comparison-based check with a range one:

  fun checkMonth(month: Int): Boolean {
      return month in 1..12
  }
