Add generic guidance for return-after-catch #55

Description

@mikedamay

Given the code

int Foo()
{
    try
   {
       // try stuff
   }
   catch (Exception)
   {
       // catch stuff
   }
   return 0;
}

Advise that the return statement should be placed in the try block.

The same applies to finally, mutatis mutandis.

Obviously the catch or finally block must not occur within some conditional control flow and must occur as the final statement in the method.

I assume we have a generic test to ensure that goto is prohibited!
