This PR is add a new cop.
Checks for overwriting an exception with an exception result by use rescue =>.

@example

# bad
begin
  something
rescue => StandardError
end

# good
begin
  something
rescue StandardError
end

Wow!
Just to show the scale of destruction:

> E=Class.new(StandardError)
> begin; raise E; rescue => E; end

(pry):2: warning: already initialized constant E
(pry):1: warning: previous definition of E was here

> E
#<E: E>

😱

Frankly, it looks like a Ruby bug or a deficiency.

In any case, thanks for the cop! 👏

I like the cop, we just need to expand a bit the docs and the examples.

I'd go with ConstantOverwrittenInRescue for the cop name.

This PR is add a new cop.
Checks for overwriting an exception with an exception result by use `rescue =>`.

You intended to write as `rescue StandardError`.
However, you have written `rescue => StandardError`.
In that case, the result of `rescue` will overwrite `StandardError`.

## @example

```ruby
# bad
begin
  something
rescue => StandardError
end

# good
begin
  something
rescue StandardError
end
```
