Bug Type:         Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Allow access to name of constant used as default value

Description:
------------
When a constant is used for the default value of an optional parameter, the
Reflection API (tries to) resolve(s) the constant to its value and then
returns it as the default value.

In addition, I would like to have two additional methods in
ReflectionParameter that expose 1) whether or not a default value "is a"
constant and 2) the name of the constant.

In the example below, I am using temporary names ("defaultValueIsConstant"
and "getDefaultValueConstantName") for these two methods because I cannot
think of sensible method names right now.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
class Foo {
    const bar = '...';

    public function baz($bar = self::bar) {
    }
}

$m = new ReflectionMethod('Foo', 'baz');
$p = $m->getParameters();

foreach ($p as $_p) {
    var_dump($_p->getDefaultValue());

    if ($_p->defaultValueIsConstant()) {
        var_dump($_p->getDefaultValueConstantName());
    }
}

Expected result:
----------------
string(3) "..."
string(9) "self::bar"

Actual result:
--------------
string(3) "..."
