Subject: [PATCH] feat: allow built-in PHP functions and constants in coding
 standard ruleset

Updated the ReferenceUsedNamesOnly configuration to avoid importing built-in PHP functions and
constants. Namespaced symbols continue to require imports. This makes the coding standard more
natural and aligned with typical PHP coding practices.
