Summary

Adds UsePredicateNot, a Java 11+ recipe that rewrites ((Predicate<T>) lambdaOrMethodRef).negate() to Predicate.not(lambdaOrMethodRef).
Handles both method references and lambdas; leaves already-typed Predicate variables untouched.
Registers the recipe in java-util-apis.yml and java-version-11.yml.

Test plan

./gradlew test --tests "*.UsePredicateNotTest" (5 tests pass)
Full ./gradlew test stays green

Targets Java 11+ code like `((Predicate<T>) lambdaOrMethodRef).negate()` and
rewrites to `Predicate.not(lambdaOrMethodRef)`.
