Missed call to '__init__' of the super class

Reports cases when a call to the super constructor in a class is missed.

Example:

class Fruit: def __init__(self): pass class Pear(Fruit): def __init__(self): pass

The Pear class should have a super call in the __init__ method.

When the quick-fix is applied, the code changes to:

class Fruit: def __init__(self): pass class Pear(Fruit): def __init__(self): super().__init__()
