Bug description:  Add scalar-type hinting

Description:
------------
Currently, only object and array arguments of a function can be hinted.
However, if you can't hint non-class/non-array argument, you have to leave
argument unhinted, which allows passing of class/array besides of scalar
types.

I propose adding new type-hinting keyword 'scalar', which matches
complement to currently possible hints. Think also about 'resource' hint.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
        function show ( scalar $string ) {
                echo $string;
        }
        show("hello\n");
        show(new stdClass());
?>

Expected result:
----------------
hello
Error...
