* remove useless replace return type provider code that returned incorrect type for array replacements and was worse duplicate of existing stubs
* require preg patterns to be non-empty-strings as otherwise it will throw a PHP notice
* improve return type of array replacements to be more correct (not fully correct due to https://github.com/vimeo/psalm/issues/5994#issuecomment-1614601590)
Despite the PHP documentation recommending that DateInterval properties
should be considered as read-only, there is no way to specify an
inverted interval via the constructor. Therefore, setting this property
on an existing object should not be considered an error.
See: https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.dateinterval.php
Both of these define "fuzzy" datatypes, which are mostly evaluated at runtime.
Currently, much of regular use of these will cause useless errors, so define
the stubs so that they simply support any kind of use that could happen.
This specific distinction seems to be very important for Psalm, as `explode()` and
`lowercase-string` are used aggressively across the codebase.
Also, this change expands the baseline by a few entries, since some of the code locations
instide Psalm itself have un-checked list destructuring operations, as well as array
access calls on potentially undefined array keys produced by `explode()`, which were
previously just `list<string>`, and are now `array{0: string, 1?: string}`, which is
a bit more precise.
* in PHP 8.0, `ReflectionUnionType` is composed on `ReflectionNamedType`s
* in PHP 8.1, `ReflectionIntersectionType` is composed of `ReflectionNamedType`s
* in PHP 8.2, `ReflectionUnionType` is composed of `ReflectionIntersectionType|ReflectionNamedType`s
Slight variations for each PHP version.
As per local testing, this doesn't work yet.
## Local testing setup:
I did some digging to make sure that the stubs work as expected.
Here's what I did to validate this patch locally (since I don't think it can really be fully automated)
## Create a dummy file to verify used symbols
```php
<?php
namespace Testing;
/** @return \ReflectionClass<\stdClass> */
function getAClass(): \ReflectionClass { throw new \Exception('irrelevant'); }
function getAnUnionType(): \ReflectionUnionType { throw new \Exception('irrelevant'); }
function getAnIntersectionType(): \ReflectionIntersectionType { throw new \Exception('irrelevant'); }
// verifying that `getName()` is stubbed in all versions: this should always be a `class-string<\stdClass>`
$name = getAClass()->getName();
// union types should appear starting with PHP 8.0. Starting with PHP 8.2, they allow for intersections.
$unionTypes = getAnUnionType()->getTypes();
// intersection types should appear starting with PHP 8.1
$intersectionTypes = getAnIntersectionType()->getTypes();
$results = [$name, $unionTypes, $intersectionTypes];
/** @psalm-trace $results */ // tracing this will show us the differences between versions
return $results;
```
## Run the script against various `vimeo/psalm` versions
```sh
docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd):/app -w /app php:7.4 ./psalm --php-version=7.4 --no-cache reflection-test.php | grep Trace
docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd):/app -w /app php:8.0 ./psalm --php-version=8.0 --no-cache reflection-test.php | grep Trace
docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd):/app -w /app php:8.1 ./psalm --php-version=8.1 --no-cache reflection-test.php | grep Trace
docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd):/app -w /app php:8.2.0RC7-cli ./psalm --php-version=8.2 --no-cache reflection-test.php | grep Trace
```
## Evaluate output

These templates were leading to false positives: assuming
an `object` is given as input, the inferred return
type would always have been `true`, which is obviously
not valid.
Removing them is the healthier alternative, for now.

As per @weirdan's feedback, we can prevent
the usage of `object` instances that
implement `__invoke()`, as well as `array`
callables, by declaring the ctor argument of
`ReflectionFunction` to be either a real `Closure`,
or a `callable-string`.
While this may not be 100% of scenarios, it is a
healthy way to identify errors in userland.
Ref: https://github.com/vimeo/psalm/pull/8722#discussion_r1027151421
Also:
* added PHP 8.2 stubs
* refined types to make impossible scenarios more clear (like `ReflectionIntersectionType#allowsNull()`)
This is a first attempt at refining these types: the structure of these stubs is quite confusing to me,
so I don't know if this approach is correct, and if the stubs are merged together, or if entire symbols
need to be completely re-declared for each PHP version.
