Make sure that includes are always surrounded by empty lines (#2270)
When an include is not surrounded by empty lines, its content is inlined
on the same line as the adjacent content. That can lead to broken tags
and other display issues.
This PR fixes all such includes and introduces a validation step that
forbids introducing the same problem again.

== Why is this an issue?
When the line immediately after a conditional has neither an enclosing `BEGIN...END` block nor indentation, the intent of the code is unclear and perhaps not what is executed. Additionally, such code is confusing to maintainers.
[source,sql]
----
IF @condition -- Noncompliant
EXEC doTheThing;
EXEC doTheOtherThing; -- Was the intent to call this function unconditionally?
----
It becomes even more confusing and bug-prone if lines get commented out.
[source,sql]
----
IF @condition -- Noncompliant
-- EXEC doTheThing;
EXEC doTheOtherThing; -- Was the intent to call this function conditionally?
----
Indentation alone or together with `BEGIN...END` block makes the intent clear.
[source,sql]
----
IF @condition
EXEC doTheThing;
EXEC doTheOtherThing; -- Clear intent to call this function unconditionally
IF @condition
BEGIN
EXEC doTheThing;
END;
EXEC doTheOtherThing; -- Clear intent to call this function unconditionally
----
This rule raises an issue if the line controlled by a conditional has the same indentation as the conditional and is not enclosed in a `BEGIN...END` block.
