'substring' call should be replaced with 'take' call

Reports calls like s.substring(0, x) that can be replaced with s.take(x).

Using take() makes your code simpler.

The quick-fix replaces the substring call with take().

Example:

fun foo(s: String) { s.substring(0, 10) }

After the quick-fix is applied:

fun foo(s: String) { s.take(10) }
