Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When outputting a numeric value as an integer, the absint() and intval() functions are treated as safe for output by WPCS. The same is not true for ceil(), floor(), and round().

Describe the solution you'd like

The ceil(), floor(), and round() functions should be added to the Sniff:$escapingFunctions property.
