Description

Quite confusing, isn't it?

    fun<Int> foo(a: Int) {
    }

Need to prohibit naming of generic types with standard Kotlin types (kotlin.kotlin_builtins)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current generic naming rule in diktat and implement a check to forbid standard type names like Int, String, etc. Reference the Kotlin builtins list.
