Unnecessary 'this' qualifier

Reports unnecessary this qualifier.

Using this to disambiguate a code reference is discouraged by many coding styles and may easily become unnecessary via automatic refactorings.

Example:

class Foo {
  int x;
  void foo() {
    this.x = 2;
  }
}

After the quick-fix is applied:

class Foo {
  int x;
  void foo() {
    x = 2;
  }
}

Use the inspection settings to ignore assignments to fields. For instance, this.x = 2; won't be reported, but int y = this.x; will be.
