Entities retrieved via EntityManager->getRepository() are not properly type hinted

[jhard]

Previously, with

$entity = $entityManager->getRepository(\App\Entity\EntityClass::class)->find(1)

PhpStorm would know that $entity is an instance of EntityClass or null. Now it's being understood as EntityClass|mixed|null|object which leads the undefined method inspection to highlight method calls on these objects (if the option to highlight method calls on mixed or object is enabled, which it should to keep the inspection useful).

Annotations like /** @var EntityClass $entity */ do help, but feel unnecessary, since it did work before, at least when injecting EntityManagerInterface into the method itself (iirc correctly, it did not work when getting the entity manager in the constructor).

I cannot remember whether it first appeared after upgrading to 2022.1, or after upgrading to the Premium version of the Symfony Support plugin.
