Avoid using null in ?? operators.

This rule is available as of Dart 2.0.

This rule has a quick fix available.

AVOID using null as an operand in ?? operators.

Using null in an if null operator is redundant, regardless of which side null is used on.

BAD:

var x = a ?? null;
var y = null ?? 1;

GOOD:

var x = a ?? 1;
