Released Rector 0.15

We released a new getrector.org website, including new documentation - https://getrector.org/documentation 🎉
You can already find a few new sections there.

This release brings the most significant changes in type safety. Few rules in type declaration worked with docblock types and completed type as strict. These rules lead to crashing code with invalid types. Instead, we've been splitting these rules into smaller and specific ones (Unix style!) that handle exact strict type declarations. This release finalizes the removal of these weak rules.

Welcome new type declaration rules that are safe and work with 100 % known strict types ↓
