Warns when a BlocProvider returns an existing instance instead of creating a new one.

Example​

❌ Bad:

final existing = RegularService();

BlocProvider(
  create: () => existing, // LINT: Avoid returning existing instances from 'BlocProvider'.
  dispose: (value) => value.dispose(),
);

✅ Good:

BlocProvider(
  create: () => RegularService(),
  dispose: (value) => value.dispose(),
);
