Setting `$ErrorView` is flagged as a warning: `PSUseDeclaredVarsMoreThanAssignment`

[Kurt-von-Laven]

Steps to reproduce

$ErrorView = 'NormalView'

Expected behavior

No warning is issued for assignment without use of any preference variable. This is another variation of #651 and an instance of #1641.

Actual behavior

I am running PSScriptAnalyzer via MegaLinter v5.0.7.

Thanks @Kurt-von-Laven, we have reproduced this issue and are marking it up for grabs for a fix.
