RFR: 8263590: Rawtypes warnings should be produced for pattern matching in instanceof

[Jan Lahoda-3]

For code like:
Object o = null;
boolean b = o instanceof List l;

There should be a raw-type warning for `List`, as we are effectively declaring a variable with a raw type.

Code like:
Object o = null;
boolean b = o instanceof List;

Will not produce a warning (as it doesn't so far), as the (raw) type is not used in a problematic context.
