Reflection deprecation (#578)
* Clarify what a built-in type is.
* Add PHP 8 equivalent of ReflectionParameter::isArray().
* Leave note on ReflectionParameter::getClass() for what to use instead.
* Clarify order of the array in getParameters().
* Add example to aid working with union types.
* Add updated equivalent of isCallable().
