Reports a problem when instance attribute definition is outside __init__ method.

Example:

class Book:
    def __init__ (self):
        self.author = 'Mark Twain'

    def release(self):
        self.year = '1889'

When the quick-fix is applied, the code sample changes to:

class Book:
    def __init__ (self):
        self.year = '1889'
        self.author = 'Mark Twain'

    def release(self):
        pass
