Dynamic type used in static context

Reports usages of dynamic types (instance, class, and self) in static contexts. Usage of a dynamic type in a static context can be considered confusing as the type will never change.

A quick fix is available to replace the dynamic type usage with its static equivalent.

Example:

class Example
  # 'instance' used in a static context
  INSTANCE: instance
  # 'class' used in a static context
  CLASS: class
end

After the quick fix:

class Example
  INSTANCE: Example
  CLASS: singleton(Example)
end
