Warns when a setState callback is empty.

Example​

❌ Bad:

class _FooState extends State<StatefulWidget> {
  Widget build(context) {
    return FooWidget(
      onChange: (value) async {
        setState(() {}); // LINT
      },
    );
  }
}

✅ Good:

class _FooState extends State<StatefulWidget> {
  String _myState;

  Widget build(context) {
    return FooWidget(
      onChange: (value) async {
        setState(() {
          _myState = 'changed';
        });
      },
    );
  }
}
