Call of Java mutator method on immutable Kotlin collection

Reports Java mutator methods calls (like fill, reverse, shuffle, sort) on an immutable Kotlin collection.

This can lead to UnsupportedOperationException at runtime.

Example:

  import java.util.Collections

  fun test() {
      val immutableList = listOf(1, 2)
      Collections.reverse(immutableList)
  }

To fix the problem make the list mutable.
