Resolves #3809.

With this new implementation, one noticeable changes are that the number of violations is going to be increased:
For example, in a class layout like

class MyClass {
    val a: Int
    fun b(): String
    val c: Int
    val d: Int
    val e: Int
    val f: Int
}

Previous the violation will be reported only the boundary (a <-> b, b <-> c), now it will be reported on (c, d, e, f).
If the increase in the violations is a concern, we can implement grouping logic to reduce the number of violations.

Time ago I did some research regarging this rule and the number of issue that it raises. I found that we could use "longest increasing subsequence (LIS)" to reduce the number of issues. But I never implement it. I don't know even if we need to implement it. But as you talk about it I thought it could be usefull.

Thanks for the fix!

this is KtSecondaryConstructor -> Section(1)
this is KtNamedFunction -> Section(2)
this is KtObjectDeclaration && isCompanion() -> Section(3)
else -> null

Is there any alternative to the null return? Then we could spare the null checks above?

Kotlin documentation does not specify where we should put nested classes or objects, so the ordering for nested classes shouldn't matter from a static analysis point of view, hence it should not have any priority order - null is a reasonable choice.
