Updated the code of _check_for_nested_attribute to check properties without triggering their code. This approach will still suggest them

Changed a test case to look for side effects and changed some contradictory comments

Updated the news section code to include imports so the code can be tested out of the box

Example

from dataclasses import dataclass
from math import pi

@dataclass
class Circle:
   radius: float
   @property
   def area(self) -> float:
      print("Property 'area' accessed")
      return pi * self.radius**2

class Container:
   def __init__(self, inner: Circle) -> None:
      self.inner = inner

circle = Circle(radius=4.0)
container = Container(circle)
print(container.area)

Output

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    print(container.area)
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'Container' object has no attribute 'area'. Did you mean '.inner.area' instead of '.area'?

It doesn't reach the print statement at all
