Unnecessary 'return' statement

Reports return statements at the end of constructors and methods returning void. These are unnecessary and may be safely removed.

Example:

  void foo (String s){
      print(s)
      return
  }

After the quick-fix is applied:

  void foo (String s){
      print(s)
  }
