> Disallow calling an arrow function in place when its body is in parentheses

`(() => (value))()` ends in a pile of parentheses. It's hard to see which pair closes the body, which closes the function and which calls it. A block body with `return` reads better. Often you don't need the function at all.

`--fix-suggestions` turns the body into `{ return ...; }`.

## Examples

Reported:

{/* bad */}
```js
const label = (() => (count === 1 ? "item" : "items"))();
```

Not reported:

{/* good */}
```js
const label = (() => {
  return count === 1 ? "item" : "items";
})();

const plain = count === 1 ? "item" : "items";

// no parentheses around the body
const now = (() => Date.now())();

// not called in place
const toPoint = (x, y) => ({ x, y });
```
