Forbid unused `noqa` comments
See original GitHub issueRule request
Thesis
We should raise a warning when noqa comment is unused.
However, I am not sure that this is possible without patching flake8.
Reasoning
Consider this example:
some_variable = 12 # noqa: A001
A001 means that your name overrides some python builtin.
But, it does not look like so. Or does it?
This kind of errors happen to have historical roots. At some point in time they were actually used, but then the code was refactored. But the comment was left untouched.
