Changed Composer package type to phpcodesniffer-standard

[frenck]

Problem/Motivation

Composer allows declaring the type of a package. When no
type is declared, the default is "library".

There are various composer plugins that can install custom
PHP CodeSniffer standards:

• https://github.com/DealerDirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer
• https://github.com/higidi/composer-phpcodesniffer-standards-plugin
• https://github.com/SimplyAdmire/ComposerPlugins

For these installers to work, the package type needs to be set to "phpcodesniffer-standard".

There are also a lot of packages that adhere to this type.

Proposed changes

Adding the following line to the composer.json will make it possible for such packages to install this custom sniff using composer:

    "type" : "phpcodesniffer-standard"

This will in no way change the existing behaviour of this package for users that do not include one of the packages mentioned above in their projects composer.json.

Possible future steps

• Update documentation
• Require an installer plugin by default
• Update Travis builds

Hey @frenck

Very nice written. Thanks for taking the time to make such a clear summary.

I don't like adding useles content to the composer.json, so it's easy to read ever for less composer-cool-features-familar developes, but this is rather reasonable.

I'm 👍 on this.
