Description

HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
shows below hints in Alt+Enter dropdown:

-Use diamond inference
-Replace explicit type with var

Selecting Hint 'Use diamond inference' converts code to

HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();

Earlier displayed hint 'Replace explicit type with var' isn't displayed anymore in alt+enter.

We should display the earlier displayed hint, and upon selection, replace type and convert statement to replace diamond operator with generic param types.
