Rebased without changes. Merging once the build passes. |

On second thought, I will delay merging this PR until the 3.10.0 release as there is a, albeit small, chance that this change could break external sniffs which extend one of the sniffs involved in this PR (as they would inherit the change, which may not be the desired behaviour for their sniff). |

The `AbstractVariableSniff` by default listens to all `T_VARIABLE`, `T_DOUBLE_QUOTED_STRING` and `T_HEREDOC` tokens. The majority of the sniffs extending the `AbstractVariableSniff`, however, only handle `T_VARIABLE` tokens and in particular, only handle `T_VARIABLE` tokens when in an OO scope and nothing more. This small tweak means these sniffs will no longer "listen" to `T_DOUBLE_QUOTED_STRING` and `T_HEREDOC` tokens, which should make them marginally faster, in particular for code bases containing lots of `T_DOUBLE_QUOTED_STRING` and `T_HEREDOC` tokens. It also means that these sniff will no longer be triggered for `T_VARIABLE` tokens outside of an OO context.

Changed:
External sniffs which extend one of these sniffs may need adjustment if they want to retain the old behaviour.
