PHP RFC: Add typehint accessors to ReflectionParameter

Add ReflectionParameter::hasTypehint() and ReflectionParameter::getTypehintText() to make parsing function/method signatures and replicating them for mocking frameworks simpler.

Current mocking frameworks have to cast the ReflectionParameter to a string, then text parse that string to retrieve the information.

5.next (5.7)

While getTexthint() might seem the obvious choice, I wanted to leave that open for compatibility in case we ever decide to return a “ReflectionTypehint” type object. getTypehintText() indicates that we're specifically asking for the string version of the typehint.
