Bug#668150: [new check] Report error on PHP short_open_tags

[Ondřej Surý <ondrej@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.6~bpo60+1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

we are considering disabling short_open_tags directive to Off by default
(to align with upstream recommended value) and we need a new lintian check
to:

- check packages with depending on any on php5 SAPI; I think checking just
  for php5 and php5-cli revdeps should be enough

- check files in such packages with .php? (e.g. .php and .php5) extension

- check on '<?' patern; '<?[:space:]' is not OK; '<?php' and '<?=' is OK
  ('<?=' is supported from PHP (>= 5.4.0) when short_open_tags is disabled)

Since we want to disable short_open_tags by default I think this should be
a error and not a warning.

Thanks,
Ondrej
