Code Review
This pull request cleans up the project's dependencies by removing several coding standards (including Magento, WordPress, Vaimo, and PHPCS Security Audit) from composer.json and updating the remaining ones to newer versions. Correspondingly, the document generator's Scala files and numerous description markdown files associated with the removed standards have been deleted. Additionally, new documentation files have been added for Drupal and PHPCompatibility, and existing Slevomat standard descriptions have been updated to reflect new settings and default values. I have no feedback to provide as there are no review comments to evaluate.

Pull Request Overview
The PR upgrades the engine to PHP_CodeSniffer v4 and transitions to PHP 8.5, but introduces several risks. Most notably, the Dockerfile configuration is flawed: it installs a redundant PHP package and modifies a configuration file that the primary PHP binary ignores, which will lead to runtime issues.
A regression was found in the documentation generator where the 'explanation' field for patterns is hardcoded to empty, which will degrade the user experience in the UI. Furthermore, the PR removes support for WordPress, Magento, Vaimo, and PHP CS Security Audit standards. While Codacy's automated analysis marks the PR as 'Up to Standards', these manual findings regarding environment setup and documentation logic should be addressed before merging.
About this PR
- The PR removes support for several major coding standards (WordPress, Magento, Vaimo, and PHP CS Security Audit). Such significant breaking changes should be documented with a justification to help maintainers and users understand the scope reduction.
- No PR description was provided. Providing context for the upgrade and the removal of legacy standards is recommended.
Test suggestions
- Missing: Verify documentation generation logic functions correctly after the removal of multiple DocsParser implementations.
- Missing: Ensure the analysis engine correctly executes sniffs using CodeSniffer 4.0.1 within the environment.
- Missing: Confirm that the new Drupal and PHPCompatibility patterns added in this PR are correctly parsed and assigned appropriate metadata.
