Description:
------------
The new tentative return type for fetchAll() is just array, but it's documented as array|false.


https://www.php.net/manual/en/pdostatement.fetchall.php

An empty array is returned if there are zero results to fetch, or false on failure.


https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/pdo/pdo_stmt.stub.php#L40

/** @tentative-return-type */
public function fetchAll(int $mode = PDO::FETCH_DEFAULT, mixed ...$args): array {}

I see that https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/a5cf82802d097f7c327ee7e4eafe2224a5c9f78b changed the return types.

I assume this was on purpose. I didn't find any notes regarding the type changes.

Signature is correct, documentation is outdated.
