[UAS-SCOUT] Update CI configuration to use Makefile for PHPCS linting

Replaced direct PHPCS command in CI with a Makefile target for better maintainability. Updated PHPCS configuration to use a dedicated ruleset file, allowing for more flexible coding standards enforcement.

 ## Testing
 For improving future features, unit testing is introduced since november 2021.
 
+The repository also has a PHPCS linting setup: `make lint` runs the shared ruleset from `phpcs.xml.dist`, and CI uses the same lint step so local and automated checks stay aligned. That XML file also contains a few narrow exceptions for legacy naming and file-header issues, which lets the existing public API stay intact without failing the build on historical style violations.

 Tests are located in the `tests` folder
 To run tests:
