PHPMD rules for SilverStripe

This repo was heavily inspired and forked from https://github.com/helpfulrobot/chillu-phpmd-silverstripe

Extended mess detection rules from phpmd for SilverStripe (http://silverstripe.org) applications.

The rules make it easier for developers to comply with the SilverStripe Coding Conventions: https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/4/contributing/php_coding_conventions/

It uses mostly standard PHPMD rules, with a few notable changes:

• Excluded CleanCode/StaticAccess: Static access is a "feature" in SilverStripe
• Replaced CamelCaseMethodName with CamelCaseInstanceMethodName: Static methods with named snake case a "feature" in SilverStripe.
• Replaced CamelCasePropertyName with CamelCaseInstancePropertyName: Static properties with snake case are a "feature" in SilverStripe.
• Replaced CamelCaseVariableName with CamelCaseInstanceVariableName: Static variable calls with snake case are a "feature" in SilverStripe.
• Replaced UnusedPrivateField with UnusedInstancePrivateField: Check to instance fields only. Unused private statics are by design in SilverStripe.
• Fixed short name variable rule for $db, $id und $i
• Added class name check cause by SilverStripe design class name should match the file name
