✨ Native handling of sniff deprecations
As per 164, this commit introduces a new feature to PHPCS: native handling of sniff deprecations.
### Background
There are quite a few sniffs slated for removal in PHPCS 4.0 - 45 so far, to be exact - and save for two sniffs which have received a deprecation mention in the changelogs, this has only been announced in issues (squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer 2448 + squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer 2471) in the Squizlabs repo and should therefore only be considered "known" to a very small group of people.
Increasing awareness of the upcoming sniff removals should allow for a smoother upgrade experience to PHPCS 4.0 for end-users.
Aside from use by PHPCS itself, this feature can also be used by external standards to signal sniff deprecations to _their_ end-users.
All in all, this feature should hopefully improve the end-user experience.
### Policy for use of this feature in PHP_CodeSniffer itself
As per the notes in 188, the intention is for PHPCS itself to use this feature as follows:
* Soft deprecate (changelog notice and `@deprecated` tag in sniff) sniffs during the lifetime of a major.
* Hard deprecate sniffs, i.e. implement the `DeprecatedSniff` interface, in the last minor before the next major release.
External standards are, of course, free to apply a different deprecation policy.
### Implementation details
This commit introduces:
#### A new `PHP_CodeSniffer\Sniffs\DeprecatedSniff` interface
This interface enforces the implementation of three new methods:
* `getDeprecationVersion(): string` - the return value should be a non-empty string with the version in which the sniff was deprecated.
* `getRemovalVersion(): string` - the return value should be a non-empty string with the version in which the sniff will be removed.
If the removal version is not yet known, it is recommended to set this to: "a future version".
* `getDeprecationMessage(): string` - the return value allows for an arbitrary message to be added, such as a replacement recommendation. If no additional information needs to be conveyed to end-users, an empty string can be returned.
Custom messages are allowed to contain new lines.
#### Changes to the `Ruleset` class to allow for showing the deprecation notices
The Ruleset class contains two new methods:
* `hasSniffDeprecations(): bool` to allow for checking whether a loading ruleset includes deprecated sniffs.
* `showSniffDeprecations(): void` to display the applicable deprecation notices.
The implementation for showing the sniff deprecation notices is as follows:
* No notices will be shown when PHPCS is running with the `-q` flag (quite mode).
* No notices will be shown when PHPCS was giving the `-e` flag to "explain" a standard (list all sniffs).
* No notices will be shown when PHPCS was asked to display documentation using the `--generator=...` CLI argument.
* No notices will be shown when PHPCS is asked for information which doesn't involve loading a ruleset, such as running `phpcs` with the any of the following flags: `-i` (listing installed standards), `--version`, `--help`, `--config-show`, `--config-set`, `--config-delete`.
* Only deprecation notices will be shown for _active_ sniffs.
This means that when `--exclude=...` is used and deprecated sniffs are excluded, no notices will be shown for the excluded sniffs.
It also means that when `--sniffs=...` is used, deprecation notices will only be shown for those sniffs selected (if deprecated).
* The deprecation notices have no impact on the PHPCS (or PHPCBF) run itself.
- Deprecated sniffs will still be loaded and run.
- Properties can be set on deprecated sniffs.
- The exit codes of runs are not affected by whether or not a ruleset contains deprecated sniffs.
* As things are, deprecation notices will show both for `phpcs` as well as `phpcbf` runs.
I did considered silencing them by default for `phpcbf`. For now, however, I've decided against this as the whole point of showing deprecation notices is to increase awareness of upcoming changes and as a subsection of the PHPCS users only run `phpcbf` and rarely `phpcs`, silencing the notices for `phpcbf` could be counter-productive.
Additional implementation notes:
* Any user set `--report-width` will be respected. This includes when the `report-width` is set to `auto`.
* New lines in custom messages will be normalized to be suitable for the OS of the end-user.
* The output will have select colourization if `--colors` is turned on.
* The deprecation notices will not be included in generated reports saved to file using `--report-file=...` (and variants thereof).
* If the interface is implemented incorrectly, a `PHP_CodeSniffer\Exceptions\RuntimeException` will be thrown.
The intention is to add return type declarations to the interface in the future.
The complete new feature is extensively covered by tests.
