Text block can be replaced with regular string literal

Reports text blocks that can be replaced with regular string literals. This may help to downgrade for backward compatibility with earlier Java versions.

Example:

  Object obj = engine.eval("""
                           function hello() {
                             print('"Hello, world"');
                           }

                           hello();
                           """);

After the quick fix is applied:

  Object obj = engine.eval("function hello() {\n" +
                           "  print('\"Hello, world\"');\n" +
                           "}\n" +
                           "\n" +
                           "hello();\n");
