_The getter '{0}' recursively returns itself._

## Description

The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a getter invokes itself,
resulting in an infinite loop.

## Example

The following code produces this diagnostic because the getter `count`
invokes itself:

```dart
class C {
  int _count = 0;

  int get [!count!] => count;
}
```

## Common fixes

Change the getter to not invoke itself:

```dart
class C {
  int _count = 0;

  int get count => _count;
}
```
