Enum linter

Enum linter checks:

• incorrect type or basic literal is assigned to enumerated type value
• switch clause is not exhaustive (in progress)

Example

type Enum int

const (
    Apple Enum = iota
    Pear
    Banana
)

...

var f Enum

f = Apple
f = 10
f = Enum(55.)

fmt.Print(f)

ch := make(chan int, 1)
ch <- 123

chEnum := make(chan Enum, 1)
chEnum <- 321

m := map[string]Enum{
    "aaa": 1234,
    "bbb": Banana,
}

s := S{
    Fruit1: 88,
    Fruit2: Pear,
    Fruit3: f,
    Fruit4: Enum(GetInt()),
    Fruit5: Enum(<-ch),
    Sub: subS{
        Fruit: 11,
    },
    SubSub1: subsub{
        Sub: subS{
            Fruit: 22,
        },
    },
    SubSub2: subsub{
        Sub: subS{
            Fruit: Enum(44),
        },
    },
}

if f == Enum(22) {
    fmt.Println("equal")
}

if s.SubSub2.Sub.Fruit == 1 {
    fmt.Println("equal")
}
