EL deferred expressions inspection

Reports dynamic expressions where deferred expressions are expected and vice versa.

Example:

<jsp:useBean id="exampleBean" scope="request" type="java.util.Date"/>

<h:outputText id="${exampleBean.day}" value="#{exampleBean.day}" /> // Good
<h:outputText id="#{exampleBean.day}" value="${exampleBean.day}" /> // Error: `id` attribute requires dynamic expression, `value` - deferred
