Form component has a lot of built-in form types. Some of them were implemented from the very beginning. In most of them there is a such method
```php
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function getParent()
{
return __NAMESPACE__.'\TextType';
}
```
This `getParent()` method was refactored in Symfony 2.8. The upgrade instructions are given here https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/2.8/UPGRADE-2.8.md#form
I think the `__NAMESPACE__.'\TextType';` expression was used because Symfony 2.8 was using `"php": ">=5.3.9"`, and the constant `::class` was added only in PHP 5.5
Now this line can be refactored into
```php
/**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function getParent()
{
return TextType::class;
}
```
For example new form types, that were added later, already using the `::class` constant.
https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Component/Form/Extension/Core/Type/ColorType.php#L23
https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Component/Form/Extension/Core/Type/TelType.php#L23
So, in this pull request I propose to refactor all old form types to use `::class` constant. It will give a benefit during the future refactoring, because IDE or static analysers will find all usages of parent class. Unlike the `__NAMESPACE__.'\TextType';` line, which doesn't show the real link to the class for IDE or static analysers, and it could complicate finding all usages of parent class.
