Add support for stubbing and mocking closures

[HeahDude]

Q	A
PHPUnit version	8.1
PHP version	7.x
Installation Method	Composer / PHAR

Would you accept a PR to support mocking closure, to ease checking that one is called?

I.e : https://3v4l.org/Yaq5A

public function testClosureIsCalled()
{
    $callback = function () {};

    $this->assertClosureWillBeCalled($callback);

    SomeBusiness:caller($callback);
}

I cannot promise acceptance of such a pull request but would, of course, consider it.

This is already possible by mocking __invoke() on stdClass:

public function testClosureIsCalled() : void
{
    $closure = $this->createPartialMock(stdClass::class, ['__invoke']);

    $closure->expects(
        $this->exactly(2)
    )->method('__invoke');

    $closure();
    $closure();
}

Unlike this workaround, the proposed API is not really flexible, however, it'd be nice if the workaround was formalized as a feature.

The provided solution results in:

createPartialMock() called with method(s) __invoke that do not exist in stdClass. This will not be allowed in future versions of PHPUnit.

An API for this might be nice indeed!

After some experimentation there still seems to be a method which works:

$mock = $this
  ->getMockBuilder(\stdclass::class)
  ->addMethods(['__invoke'])
  ->getMock();

$mock
  ->expects(self::once())
  ->method('__invoke'));

(Tested on PHPUnit 9 / PHP 7.3)
