Changes to Attribute::class constants in PHP 8.5 #537

Description

@kubawerlos

The following code:

var_export((new ReflectionClass(Attribute::class))->getConstants());

In PHP 8.0-8.4 returns:

array (
  'TARGET_CLASS' => 1,
  'TARGET_FUNCTION' => 2,
  'TARGET_METHOD' => 4,
  'TARGET_PROPERTY' => 8,
  'TARGET_CLASS_CONSTANT' => 16,
  'TARGET_PARAMETER' => 32,
  'TARGET_ALL' => 63,
  'IS_REPEATABLE' => 64,
)

PHP 8.5 introduced attributes on constants, so the array in PHP 8.5 is:

array (
  'TARGET_CLASS' => 1,
  'TARGET_FUNCTION' => 2,
  'TARGET_METHOD' => 4,
  'TARGET_PROPERTY' => 8,
  'TARGET_CLASS_CONSTANT' => 16,
  'TARGET_PARAMETER' => 32,
  'TARGET_CONSTANT' => 64,
  'TARGET_ALL' => 127,
  'IS_REPEATABLE' => 128,
)

How to address the issue?

Should the existing stub be updated with something like:

    public const TARGET_CONSTANT = \PHP_VERSION_ID >= 80500 ? 64 : null;
    public const TARGET_ALL = \PHP_VERSION_ID >= 80500 ? 127 : 63;
    public const IS_REPEATABLE = \PHP_VERSION_ID >= 80500 ? 128 : 64;

Or maybe a new Attribute class in src/Php85/Resources/stubs?

There is no ternary operator in any constant yet, and also there are not 2 the same classes for different PHP versions, so each of the above would be the first such solution

Or any better idea to address the problem?
