False importing scalar types when generating a plugin class

[novikor]

Describe the bug

When generating a before plugin for method that accepts scalar parameters, sometimes the generated plugin class contains imports for scalars like int, treating them as classes rather than built-in types.

To Reproduce (*)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have an original class to create a plugin for containing a method with the following signature:

    public function isActive(null|int|string $scope = null): bool
    {
        return true;
    }

2. right click on the method and open plugin generation dialog, create a before plugin type.

3. Navigate the newly created class
4. See the imports broken

By a following code line:

use intuse Vendor\Module\Model\Config;class SomePlugin

Expected behavior (*)

use int is missing, PHP imports are valid

Screenshots

Attached above
