Description:
------------
Interfaces shouldn't be able to enforce a signature for `__construct`. Parent classes can't enforce that either, for classes there's no compatibility check, but interfaces have them.

See https://3v4l.org/mSPL5 vs. https://3v4l.org/RYdFG

This is related to #50302 which I believe is a bug, even if it has been closed as not being one.

In case it's decided that this is not a bug, this bug can serve as documentation of it not being a bug.

Expected result:
----------------
Probably a compile time error, that the interface defines __construct.

Actual result:
--------------
The interface is defined with __construct and the signature enforced in classes implementing it.

I think this issue should be discussed in internals, Niklas.

While constructors are generally exempt from LSP, enforcing consistent constructor signatures can be useful in some contexts, e.g. for use by factories. This is an intentional feature and will not be dropped.
