Adding php 8.2 compatibility...

Ho_Templatehints extends the default Magento template hints.

• Easily accessible with muscle memory ?ath=1.
• Shows hints for Templates, AbstractBlocks (Blocks), Containers and UI Components.
• No layout interference: Using css outline instead of borders of other HTML elements, so it doesn't f'up the layout.

hint($0)
