chore: PHPStan level 8 typing pass + bugfixes

[TheWitness]

Summary

PHPStan level 8 + PHPDoc/native typing pass for plugin_quicktree, following the same process as the prior repos in this rollout (plugin_cjobs/backup/schema/exlist/lsflog). Native return types added where a function's own body guarantees a single type; PHPDoc-only types kept at Cacti hook-boundary functions (quicktree_graph_buttons, quicktree_draw_navigation_text) whose arguments are supplied by an external dispatcher.

(a) Error count

PHPStan level 8: 18 -> 0 errors.

(b) Genuine bugs fixed

• setup.php: quicktree_show_tab() built its tab link URL as '...quicktree.php?location=tab' . quicktree_page_location('tab') - the literal tab before the function call was a leftover, producing an invalid ?location=tabtab or ?location=tabconsole query string. Fixed to '...quicktree.php?location=' . quicktree_page_location('tab').
• quicktree.php: the "no graph specified" branch of the add action called __('...', $title) where $title is undefined in that branch (only ever set when a graph was specified) - the format string has no %s placeholder, so this was a copy/paste leftover; replaced with the correct 'quicktree' text-domain argument matching every other __() call in the file.
• quicktree.php: removed 3 unreachable break; statements sitting after exit; in the clear/save/remove action cases (dead code, no behavior change).
• quicktree.php: simplified an always-true if (empty($save['id'])) { $save['user_id'] = ...; } - $save['id'] is unconditionally set to '' two lines above, so the condition can never be false; PHPStan correctly flagged this as dead logic. Behavior preserved (the assignment always ran either way), just removed the vestigial conditional.
• setup.php: parse_ini_file() result narrowed before array access (can return false).
• setup.php / ui_helpers.php / quicktree.php: html_start_box() $div/$cell_padding args passed as strings instead of native bool/int, matching Cacti core's typed signature (recurring pattern across this whole rollout).

(c) Stubs added/verified

Scratch PHPStan bootstrap stubs added for this repo's Cacti core dependencies (api_plugin_db_table_create, api_user_realm_auth, get_current_page, get_filter_request_var, isset_request_var, draw_actions_dropdown, general_header, raise_message, sql_save, api_tree_item_save, set_default_action, api_plugin_upgrade_register, plus the already-established reusable base set), all sourced from Cacti/cacti's develop branch.

(d) Test result

Full Pest suite: 58 passed (192 assertions), run against the real 1.2.x host via bind-mount.

Two pre-existing tests in this repo initially failed after two changes I made for PHPStan/style compliance, and I reverted both changes rather than touch the tests (per "tests win" policy) since both are behaviorally-neutral:

• One test asserts api_plugin_register_hook(...)'s 5th arg is recorded as the exact literal 1; I'd changed the call site from 1 to true to satisfy PHPStan's native bool param stub. Reverted the call site back to 1 (PHP coerces this to true at the real bool $enable parameter boundary regardless) and loosened that one parameter's type in the scratch stub instead - no shipped code or real behavior is affected either way.
• One test's own regex-based "no SQL string interpolation" check specifically looks for , array( to separate a prepared query's SQL literal from its bound params; php-cs-fixer's array() -> [] conversion on one single-line db_execute_prepared(...) call broke that heuristic (false positive, not real interpolation). Reverted that one call's params back to array($user) syntax; left cs-fixer's conversion everywhere else in the file. php-cs-fixer --dry-run therefore still shows this one line as "could be fixed" - a deliberate, documented exception, not an oversight (CI does not run php-cs-fixer as a gate for this repo).

(e) Unresolved / flagged for maintainer judgement

None beyond the two documented, behaviorally-neutral exceptions above.

Files changed

quicktree.php, quicktree_security.php, setup.php, ui_helpers.php, locales/po/cacti.pot (translation template refresh only; per-language .po files reverted to avoid Weblate churn).
