Expected result

• field should not be considered unused here.
• Fixing should not delete the field.

export class Test {
  private field: number;

  constructor() {
    this.field ??= 1;
  }
}

(this is reduced, the original was more complicated, in particular there was a side effect on the right-hand of ??= ...)

Looks like the private variable check has more issues: #6974, #6933
