New features:

• Allow a & before the method name in @method annotations, to declare that the method returns by reference (#5430)
• New PhanTypeComparisonObjectOrdering issue type to detect when ordering operators (<, <=, >, >=, <=>) are used to compare an object with a non-object value, which throws TypeError in PHP 8.0+

Bug fixes:

• Fixed analysis of array_map with ternary expression as array argument (#5424)
• Skip redundant/impossible condition detection on static properties (#5423)
• Fixed value-of<T> and key-of<T> not evaluating to the expected types (#5421)
• Fixed more inconsistencies in type inference for if statement vs ?: ternary expression (#5408)
• Fixed templated subtypes of array not being treated as array-like (#5433)
• Treat readonly classes as such when read from Reflection (#5436)

Miscellaneous:

• Replace TysonAndre/var_representation_polyfill with the phan/ fork for PHP 8.5 support (#5420)
