Warns when multiple nested Providers can be replaced with MultiProvider instead.

Replacing with multi provider improves the readability and reduces the widget tree nesting level.

Example​

❌ Bad:

// LINT: Prefer 'MultiProvider' instead of multiple nested providers.
final provider = Provider(
  create: () => RegularService(),
  child: Provider(
    create: () => RegularService(),
    child: ListenableProvider(
      create: () => RegularService(),
      child: Widget(),
    ),
  ),
);

✅ Good:

final multiProvider = MultiProvider(
  providers: [
    Provider(create: () => RegularService()),
    Provider(create: () => RegularService()),
    ListenableProvider(create: () => RegularService()),
  ],
  child: Widget(),
);
