PHP 8.4: `PropertyReflector::getSettableType` includes "?" in nullable identifier names.

[BusterNeece]

Description

It appears that the type name returned by ReflectionProperty::getSettableType() will include the nullable question mark in the case of nullable values (i.e. ?string for string|null). This is inconsistent with existing behavior and the return type of ReflectionProperty::getType() given the same type hint.

The following code:

<?php
class Foo {
    public string|null $bar {
        set (string|null $value) => $value ?? 'default';
    }
}

$reflProp = new ReflectionProperty(Foo::class, 'bar');

echo $reflProp->getType()->getName();
echo $reflProp->getSettableType()->getName();

Resulted in this output:

string
?string

But I expected this output instead:

string
string
