R1720 (no-else-raise)

:x: Problematic code:

def foo(n: int, stop: int):
    for i in range(n):
        if i == stop:
            raise ValueError
        else:
            yield i

:heavy_check_mark: Correct code:

def foo(n: int, stop: int):
    for i in range(n):
        if i == stop:
            raise ValueError

        yield i

Rationale:

Used in order to highlight an unnecessary block of code following an if containing a raise statement. As such, it will warn when it encounters an else following a chain of ifs, all of them containing a raise statement.
