Allow in class with given attributes on any method

You can allow or disallow a function or a method, an attribute, a namespace or a classname in a class where any method, including the method the call is done in, but not the class itself, has the specified attribute. This is done with allowInClassWithMethodAttributes and allowExceptInClassWithMethodAttributes (or disallowInClassWithMethodAttributes which is an alias). The method with the attribute can also be static, final or even abstract, and the method visibility doesn't matter.

parameters:
    disallowedNamespace:
        -
            class: 'Foo\Bar\DisallowedClass'
            allowInClassWithMethodAttributes:
                - MyAttribute

Given the configuration above, no error would be reported in the following source code even though MyAttribute is not on the method the DisallowedClass is used in, but on some other method:

class Waldo
{

    public function function1(): void
    {
        Foo\Bar\DisallowedClass::method();
    }


    #[MyAttribute]
    private function checkThis(): void
    {
    }

}

The attribute names support fnmatch() patterns, and only one needs to match if multiple are specified.
