Fails the linter if an exception is swallowed (e.g. variable completely
unused).
If this is intentional for some reason, the exception can simply by
annotated with @SuppressWarnings("unused").
Detects common cases of unreachable/dead code.
For generated javacc code, the check is disabled via
SuppressWarnings("unused") because javacc generates strange/bad code such as:
if ("" == null)
For TestStressNRTReplication's startNode() method, the check is also
disabled because analysis folds the "test evilness controls" which are
static final constants. This itself is a WTF, shouldn't we instead
randomize these evil things in our tests rather than hardcoding them to
specific values?
Requiring the annotation is helpful because if an abstract method is removed, the concrete methods will then show up as compile errors: preventing dead code from being accidentally left behind.

Enable ecj unused local variable, private instance and method detection. Allow SuppressWarnings("unused") to disable unused checks (e.g. for generated code or very special tests). Fix gradlew regenerate for python 3.9 SuppressWarnings("unused") for generated javacc and jflex code. Enable a few other easy ecj checks such as Deprecated annotation, hashcode/equals, equals across different types.
