PHP 8.2 | Squiz/VariableComment: allow for stand-alone null/true/false types and more

[jrfnl]

Description

PHP 8.2 | Squiz/VariableComment: allow for stand-alone null/true/false types

Since PHP 8.2, stand-alone use of true, false and null is allowed.

However, if these were used as the type for a property, the docblock would not be found.

Fixed now.

Includes unit tests.

Squiz/VariableComment: allow for various other missing types

There were some more allowed types missing from the list of tokens to skip over to find a docblock.

Fixed now.

Includes unit tests.

Suggested changelog entry

• Squiz.Commenting.VariableComment : docblocks were incorrectly being flagged as missing when a property declaration used PHP 8.2+ stand-alone true/false/null type declarations
• Squiz.Commenting.VariableComment : docblocks were incorrectly being flagged as missing when a property declaration used PHP native parent, self or a namespace relative class name type declaration
