Adds dead-tests, a static scanner for JUnit test methods that are never collected because @Test is missing, and for asserts after the throwing call under @Test(expected=...). The scanner itself is Python, and it also covers other languages, but two of its checks are JUnit-specific and one covers Kotlin. I wrote it.
