Description

Once https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/pull/5402 is merged, we should move out methods for getting all properties of a check, getting their type, and their default values into ModuleReflectionUtils so our other projects like regression-tool and sevntu can use them for their purposes without having to recode them.

Research direction

Start by checking pull request 5402 and the existing ModuleReflectionUtils implementation. Locate the methods that gather a check’s properties, property types, and default values, then compare how regression-tool and sevntu currently obtain them. Done means those methods are available through ModuleReflectionUtils for both projects without recoding them.
