Descrizione

**Description of the issue**
`Assignment` [describes itself](https://codeql.github.com/codeql-standard-libraries/java/semmle/code/java/Expr.qll/type.Expr$Assignment.html) as:
> A common super-class that represents all varieties of assignments.

However, it does not actually include `UnaryAssignExpr`; for example the following cannot be compiled:
```ql
import java

from Assignment a
// Error: test is always false, as UnaryAssignExpr is incompatible with the expression type Assignment.
where a instanceof UnaryAssignExpr
select a
```

In case that is the intended behavior it would be good to clarify this in the `Assignment` documentation.
If not, then `Assignment` should probably include `UnaryAssignExpr` as well. `Assignment.getRhs()` cannot have a result in this case, so its documentation would have to be adjusted to describe this behavior.
