DCOM-253: Support use statements for annotations property type

[guilhermeblanco]

Jira issue originally created by user enumag:

For example in doctrine/orm there is this annotation class:

namespace Doctrine\ORM\Mapping;

/****
 * @Annotation
 * @Target({"PROPERTY","ANNOTATION"})
 */
final class JoinTable implements Annotation
{
    /****
     * @var string
     */
    public $name;

    /****
     * @var string
     */
    public $schema;

    /****
     * @var array<\Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\JoinColumn>
     */
    public $joinColumns = array();

    /****
     * @var array<\Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\JoinColumn>
     */
    public $inverseJoinColumns = array();
}

Note the @var array<\Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\JoinColumn>. In my opinion @var array<JoinColumn> should be enough here as JoinColumn is in the same namespace. Use statements should also be supported.
