Gendarme - AvoidUncalledPrivateCodeRule

[Nidhi Rawal]

Description:
The rule checks if there is any code that calls the private or
internal member, or if it is invoked by CLR or a delegate and raises
error if it is not called by anyone.

Examples:

1) public class UncalledPrivateMethod
{
private void method ()
{
}
public static void Main ()
{
}
}
This is bad. Compiler also raises warning for this case, but my
code will also flag an error for it.

2) internal class UncalledPublicMethodInInternalClass
{
public void method ()
{
}
}
This is bad.

3) class UncalledPublicMethodInPrivateClass
{
private class PrivateClass
{
public void method ()
{
}
}
}
This is bad.

These are just few examples. I'll add more test-cases to
AvoidUncalledPrivateCodeTest.cs
