[code-quality] How to detect unused PyLint declarations

[Torsten Marek]

Yes, I0021 is useless-suppression.

There's also suppressed-message, to show what kinds of messages have been
suppressed. Looking at that every once in a while is interesting as well.
Especially for badly understood messages, there is a tendency in developers
to just paper over the warnings instead of fixing the underlying issue.
