Revert "Detect invalid uses of parent:: during compilation"

This reverts commit a9e6667817c38f22f4645ec5b4e5c6b0e4b928fa.

Breakage found in the wild: Mockery uses a parent:: call in the
implementation regardless of whether the class has a parent or not:
https://github.com/mockery/mockery/blob/4324afeaf9d95b492507e6587abb3f024e2576de/library/Mockery/Mock.php#L600

This change is not worth the compat break in 7.4.

Deprecate case-insensitive constants via typelib import

As of PHP 7.3.0, case-insensitive constants are deprecated. We catch
up on this with regard to ext/com_dotnet, which allows to import
constants from typelibs, by triggering a deprecation notice whenever
`com_load_typelib()` is called with `$case_sensitive` being `false`,
and whenever `com.autoregister_casesensitive` is set to `false`,
regardless of whether there are actually constants in the typelib which
would be imported.
