[java]: UseArraysAsList should not warn when elements are skipped in array

[tsmock]

Affects PMD Version: 7.2.0

Rule: UseArraysAsList

Please provide the rule name and a link to the rule documentation:
https://docs.pmd-code.org/latest/pmd_rules_java_performance.html#usearraysaslist

Description: UseArraysAsList should not warn when elements are skipped in array

Code Sample demonstrating the issue:

import java.util.*;
public class Test {
  public static void main(String... args) {
    String[] entrySet = {"key1", "value1", "key2", "value2", "key3", "value3"};
    for (String key : keySet(entrySet)) {
      System.out.println(key);
    }
  }

  private static Collection<String> keySet(String... entrySet) {
    final Set<String> result = new HashSet<>(entrySet.length / 2);
    for (int i = 0; i < entrySet.length; i += 2) {
      result.add(entrySet[i]);
    }
    return result;
  }
}

Expected outcome: No warning

PMD reports a violation at line 13, but that's wrong. That's a false positive.
