Description
Hi,
phpmd 2.x is not compatible with php 8.5. The phpmd maintainers recommend to use the 3.x-dev branch instead.
Unfortunately, GrumPHP is not compatible with this branch because the phpmd command was overhauled.
I might be able to provide a PR that adds support for this version, but I'm wondering how to implement it:
- Option 1: keep the current phpmd task untouched, add a new task for 3.x (what would be the name?)
- Option 2: refactor the current phpmd task to support both phpmd 2.x and 3.x (how to consistently detect the version? maybe an config option?)

Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing phpmd task and how it invokes the phpmd command, then compare those assumptions with the phpmd 3.x command described in the issue. Decide whether one task can support both versions or a separate task is needed; done means GrumPHP works with phpmd 2.x and 3.x.
