Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The code

var err error
insts, err := call()

can be simplified to

insts, err := call()

Describe the solution you'd like

A new rule redundant-err-decl that would suggest removing redundant err declarations.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Use sed to search redundant for err declarations and remove them manually:

find . -name '*.go' -exec sed -n '/var err error/{N;/\n.*err :=/p;}' {} +

The problem is wider and not limited to error declaration.

var foo int
foo, bar := 2, 3
