- replaced release version with package version in @since and @depreacated tags
- removed @since tag from private properties/methods and non @api classes
- added release number to all existing @deprecated tag in php classes, methods and properties (app/code/Magento, lib/internal/Magento, setup/src/Magento/Setup)

PHP's function `in_array` returns `TRUE` when evaluating a needle `0` against a list of strings, which is a known issue. In my case I got an exception because a small integer was used to construct a new `DateTime` object. Calling the function in strict mode fixes this.
