Single character string argument in 'String.indexOf()' call

Reports single character strings being used as an argument in String.indexOf() and String.lastIndexOf() calls.

A quick-fix is suggested to replace such string literals with equivalent character literals, gaining some performance enhancement.

Example:

return s.indexOf("x");

After the quick-fix is applied:

return s.indexOf('x');
