Warns when context.dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType is transitively called from any invocation in initState.

Example​

❌ Bad:

class _MyHomePageState<T> extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int _counter = 0;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();

    Theme.of(context); // LINT: Avoid 'dependOnInheritedWidgetOfExactType' subscriptions in 'initState'.
  }
}

✅ Good:

class _MyHomePageState<T> extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int _counter = 0;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
  }
}
