Review use of external sniffs

Both VIPCS rulesets currently use the following external sniffs:
```
Generic (5 sniffs)
------------------
Generic.NamingConventions.ConstructorName
Generic.PHP.DisallowShortOpenTag
Generic.PHP.NoSilencedErrors
Generic.PHP.Syntax
Generic.VersionControl.GitMergeConflict

PSR2 (1 sniff)
---------------
PSR2.Files.ClosingTag

Squiz (3 sniffs)
----------------
Squiz.PHP.CommentedOutCode
Squiz.PHP.Eval
Squiz.WhiteSpace.SuperfluousWhitespace

VariableAnalysis (1 sniff)
---------------------------
VariableAnalysis.CodeAnalysis.VariableAnalysis

WordPress (20 sniffs)
---------------------
WordPress.CodeAnalysis.AssignmentInCondition
WordPress.DB.DirectDatabaseQuery
WordPress.DB.PreparedSQL
WordPress.DB.SlowDBQuery
WordPress.DateTime.RestrictedFunctions
WordPress.PHP.DevelopmentFunctions
WordPress.PHP.DiscouragedPHPFunctions
WordPress.PHP.DontExtract
WordPress.PHP.IniSet
WordPress.PHP.StrictComparisons
WordPress.PHP.StrictInArray
WordPress.Security.EscapeOutput
WordPress.Security.NonceVerification
WordPress.Security.PluginMenuSlug
WordPress.Security.ValidatedSanitizedInput
WordPress.WP.AlternativeFunctions
WordPress.WP.CronInterval
WordPress.WP.EnqueuedResources
WordPress.WP.GlobalVariablesOverride
WordPress.WP.PostsPerPage
```

For each of these sniffs, a review should be done to verify the following:
* Is the sniff still relevant ?
* Does the sniff do what it should do ?
* Is this still the best sniff for the job or have other sniffs been published in the mean time which are better, i.e. should the current sniff inclusion be replaced with another sniff ?
* Are there known issues with the sniff, either reported here or upstream ? And if so, can we contribute to fixing these ?
* Are there unreported issues with the sniff based on a quick code review ? Things along the same lines as the VIPCS native sniffs are being reviewed for, like code style independence and correct handling of modern PHP code.

I'm opening this issue as a placeholder/reminder that this review needs to be done. When the time is right to address this, we may need to open individual issues for each sniff to allow for a more targeted discussion of each sniff.

Beginne mit der externen Sniff-Liste in diesem Issue und wähle einen Sniff aus den Regelsets Generic, PSR2, Squiz, VariableAnalysis oder WordPress aus. Überprüfe seine aktuelle Relevanz, sein Verhalten, Alternativen sowie gemeldete oder beobachtbare Probleme anhand der beiden VIPCS-Regelsets und der Informationen des Upstream-Projekts. Als abgeschlossen gilt die Arbeit, wenn für jeden Sniff eine dokumentierte Überprüfung vorliegt und separate, gezielte Issues für erforderliche Folgearbeiten eröffnet wurden.
