Description:
------------
When I define multiple properties within a single statement and a native typehint, ReflectionType reports wrong allowsNull():

private ?DateTimeImmutable $startDate, $endDate;

Reproduction: https://3v4l.org/hITTk

Related PHPStan issue: https://github.com/phpstan/phpstan/issues/2886

Test script:
---------------
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

final class CreateStatementRequest
{
    private ?DateTimeImmutable $startDate, $endDate;
}

$ref = new \ReflectionClass(CreateStatementRequest::class);
foreach ($ref->getProperties() as $refProperty) {
    var_dump($refProperty->getName());
    $refType = $refProperty->getType();
    var_dump($refType->getName());
    var_dump($refType->allowsNull());
    
    var_dump('---');
}

Expected result:
----------------
string(9) "startDate"
string(17) "DateTimeImmutable"
bool(true)
string(3) "---"
string(7) "endDate"
string(17) "DateTimeImmutable"
bool(true)
string(3) "---"

Actual result:
--------------
string(9) "startDate"
string(17) "DateTimeImmutable"
bool(true)
string(3) "---"
string(7) "endDate"
string(17) "DateTimeImmutable"
bool(false)
string(3) "---"

Not specifically a reflection issue: the ReflectionClass is accurately reflecting the state of affairs:

<?php
class foo
{

	public ?string $a, $b;

}

$t = new foo;
$t->a = "start";
$t->b = "end";

echo $t->a, ' ', $t->b, "\n";

echo "Nulling a:\n";
$t->a = null;

echo "Nulling b:\n";
$t->b = null;
?>

In the above code, property 'a' is nullable, but property 'b' is not.

Which seems wrong.
