Local variable with type parameters

Reports local variables with type parameters.

A type parameter for a local variable doesn't make sense because it can't be specialized.

Example:

fun main() { val <T> x = "" }

After the quick-fix is applied:

fun main() { val x = "" }

This inspection only reports if the Kotlin language level of the project or module is 1.4 or higher.
