Possible constants hinting about phpmnd HOT 4 CLOSED

@Asera thank for suggestion :)
To be honest I was thinking about this feature from beginning. With many things I agree. About 1 group:
And what do you think about constants that are not in you project but they are as your dependency(in your vendor).
About second one yes it is practically impossible. But I think there are numbers where we could probable hint. For example: 404 -> HTTP_NOT_FOUND, 200 -> HTTP_OK and all other http response codes. Or 3306 -> MYSQL_PORT and so on.

First group
I think all the constants that can be extracted from user source files including vendor folder must be indexed.
Also PHP itself has some constants and I saw some cases when magic numbers were PHP predefined constants.

Second group
We could make hints for common and widespread numbers. I was thinking about custom user dictionary for magic numbers, but i found it useless as all the constants are already included in project files. And if user needs dictionary he can define constants in his project, this will be the best solution.

I dont think so that vendor should be included. Firstly it would increase analysis time dramatically. Secondly it is very hard to determine is the constant was found in direct dependency.
