This release fixes immutability static analysis for internal ProxyMan…

…ager symbols, which

was incorrect due to being performed with an older psalm version.

Support for stream wrappers in combination with the `FileLocator` also has been corrected,
since stream wrappers are inherently incompatible with `realpath()` from php-src.

This release:

 * migrates the project from `zendframework/zend-code` to `laminas/laminas-code`
 * integrates with `webimpress/safe-writer` to better handle atomic proxy file
   write operations, effectively deferring any race conditions to a third-party
   package designed just for that.
 * improves type declarations by marking some of ProxyManager's
   safe internals as `@psalm-immutable`, integrates the new
 * uses stricter tested dependency sets, reducing the range of
   possible bugs coming from too wide dependency permutations

This release fixes [deprecation warnings that come with the newer PHP…

… 7.4 release](https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecations_php_7_4),

and completely covers the test suite with type checks.

With this release, no types coming from ProxyManager should be inferred as `mixed` anymore,
allowing for safer, faster and more reliable downstream development.

This release introduces [vimeo/psalm](https://github.com/vimeo/psalm)…

… and

[PHPStorm](https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/)-specific type-declarations for
all API endpoints that do not return simple scalar/object types.

Effectively, that means that following code will now be statically analysable
by psalm and PHPStorm, which will know the exact type of `$proxy`:

```php
class MyExample
{
    public function bar(int $parameter) : void {}
}

$proxyFactory
    ->createProxy(MyExample::class)
    ->bar('hello world!'); // this will be detected as a type mismatch
```

In practice, this means that most projects won't need to use explicit inline
type-hints such as `/** @var SomeClassName $proxy */`, and the tooling will
pick up these types implicitly.

Improvements were also applied to type declarations in generated code,
autoloading (now switched to PSR-4) and null-check `??` operator usages.

This release introduces support for PHP 7.4 typed properties, and req…

…uires

a minimum PHP version of 7.4.0 to be installed.

In addition to that, multiple improvements have been done to prepare for
PHP 8 support, and to reduce the chance of regressions by using stricter
type checks, testing for mutations, and applying stricter coding style
rules.
