Do not require DocBlock for typed class attributes

Description

Do not require a DocBlock for typed class attributes

Expected behavior

Class attributes that have specified types should not require a DocBlock. When an attribute already has a type, the DocBlock is providing no new information, and is instead just creating noise - e.g.:

/** @var ProductRepositoryInterface */
private ProductRepositoryInterface $productRepository;

We already have the type information - we don't need the DocBlock to tell us the type.

I propose that the rule regarding class attributes requiring a @var annotation with a type be changed so that it only applies to attributes without a specified type.

Benefits

Removes the need for redundant comments
