Makes sure that rescued exceptions variables are named as expected.

The PreferredName config option takes a String. It represents the required name of the variable. Its default is e.

NOTE: This cop does not consider nested rescues because it cannot guarantee that the variable from the outer rescue is not used within the inner rescue (in which case, changing the inner variable would shadow the outer variable).

Example: PreferredName: e (default)

# bad
begin
  # do something
rescue MyException => exception
  # do something
end

# good
begin
  # do something
rescue MyException => e
  # do something
end

# good
begin
  # do something
rescue MyException => _e
  # do something
end

Example: PreferredName: exception

# bad
begin
  # do something
rescue MyException => e
  # do something
end

# good
begin
  # do something
rescue MyException => exception
  # do something
end

# good
begin
  # do something
rescue MyException => _exception
  # do something
end
