MA0134 currently ignores discarded awaitables (_ = SomeAsyncCall()), so fire-and-forget patterns in non-async code are not reported. This change adds an opt-in mode to flag those calls while preserving existing behavior by default.

What changed

  • Added MA0134.report_discarded to MA0134 (false by default).
  • When enabled, MA0134 now reports discarded awaitable invocations, including conditional access and constructor fire-and-forget patterns.
  • Added focused MA0134 tests for:
    • default no-report behavior for discards,
    • reporting when configured,
    • constructor and conditional-access discard cases.
  • Updated MA0134 documentation with the new .editorconfig option.
  • Updated analyzer comparison docs to document the CS4014 vs MA0134 relationship.

Notes for reviewers

  • This is intentionally opt-in to avoid changing current MA0134 behavior for existing users.

Fixes: #1108

Add opt-in MA0134.report_discarded support so discarded awaitables (_ = ...) can be reported in non-async contexts, including conditional access and constructor fire-and-forget patterns.

Update MA0134 tests and rule documentation, and add CS4014 mapping in analyzer comparison docs.
