Public API declaration with implicit return type

Reports public and protected functions and properties that have an implicit return type. For API stability reasons, it's recommended to specify such types explicitly.

Example:

fun publicFunctionWhichAbusesTypeInference() =
    otherFunctionWithNotObviousReturnType() ?: yetAnotherFunctionWithNotObviousReturnType()

After the quick-fix is applied:

fun publicFunctionWhichAbusesTypeInference(): Api =
    otherFunctionWithNotObviousReturnType() ?: yetAnotherFunctionWithNotObviousReturnType()
