/// **What it does:** Checks for usage of `!` or `!=` in an if condition with an
/// else branch.
///
/// **Why is this bad?** Negations reduce the readability of statements.
///
/// **Known problems:** None.
///
/// **Example:**
/// ```rust
/// if !v.is_empty() {
///     a()
/// } else {
///     b()
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Could be written:
///
/// ```rust
/// if v.is_empty() {
///     b()
/// } else {
///     a()
/// }
/// ```
