Recipe to replace trivial if statements with ternary operator

[greg-at-moderne]

What problem are you trying to solve?

Code readability. Funnily, this is opposite of #50. Have a recipe to convert if-else statements to a ternary (Elvis) operator when applicable.

In specific cases the ternary operator is more readable than a verbose if-else. I think we might want to apply some heuristics on the condition being simple and/or the values assigned/returned being simple.

Describe the situation before applying the recipe

        if (age >= 18) {
            category = "Adult";
        } else {
            category = "Minor";
        }

Describe the situation after applying the recipe

        category = (age >= 18) ? "Adult" : "Minor";

Hi @NatePombi. Thanks for signing up for this! We typically let new contributors create a PR, start with providing tests. And only then assign issues. So if you are still interested, I suggest you go ahead.
