Closes #265.

This commit adds support for detecting classes and methods registered via
PHP's callback registration functions, addressing issue #265.

Implemented support for:
- register_shutdown_function: Detects array callables and string method references
- register_tick_function: Detects array callables
- header_register_callback: Detects array callables
- spl_autoload_register: Detects array callables
- stream_wrapper_register: Partial support (needs further work)
- stream_filter_register: Partial support (needs further work)

The provider successfully detects:
✓ Array callables with class names: [ClassName::class, 'methodName']
✓ Array callables with instances: [$object, 'methodName']
✓ String method references: 'ClassName::methodName'

Known limitations:
- stream_wrapper_register and stream_filter_register class detection needs
  additional work to properly mark all class methods as used
- Dynamic callables assigned to variables may not always be detected

Tests added in tests/Rule/data/providers/register-callback.php
…per/filter_register

The provider wasn't being instantiated in the test setup. After adding it to
DeadCodeRuleTest::getMemberUsageProviders(), it now works perfectly.

Changes:
- Added RegisterCallbackUsageProvider to test provider list
- Added import for RegisterCallbackUsageProvider in tests
- Removed debug/error comments from test expectations
- Removed debug logging code from provider

Now successfully detects and marks as used:
✓ stream_wrapper_register: All methods of registered classes
✓ stream_filter_register: All methods of registered classes
✓ register_shutdown_function: Callable array and string references
✓ register_tick_function: Callable arrays
✓ header_register_callback: Callable arrays
✓ spl_autoload_register: Callable arrays

Credit to user for identifying the need for composer dump-autoload and
suggesting to check the test setup!
PHPStan was reporting offsetAccess.notFound and identical.alwaysFalse errors
for array item null checks. Added @phpstan-ignore comments to suppress these
false positives, similar to other parts of the codebase.

The code is correct - we check if items are null before using them, but
PHPStan's type system can't track this properly for array items.
Changed EdgeCaseHandler methods to static to avoid runtime error when
register_shutdown_function tries to call a non-static method statically.

This fixes the testNoFatalError test while still demonstrating that the
provider correctly detects dynamic callable assignments.
