Description:
------------
ReflectionFunction and ReflectionMethod __toString() method for internal deprecated functions returns strange looking <internal, deprecated:libxml> instead of <internal:libxml, deprecated>

Test script:
---------------
<?php
// libxml_disable_entity_loader is deprecated in PHP 8
echo (new ReflectionFunction('libxml_disable_entity_loader'));

Expected result:
----------------
Function [ <internal:libxml, deprecated> function libxml_disable_entity_loader ] {

  - Parameters [1] {
    Parameter #0 [ <optional> bool $disable = true ]
  }
  - Return [ bool ]
}

Actual result:
--------------
Function [ <internal, deprecated:libxml> function libxml_disable_entity_loader ] {

  - Parameters [1] {
    Parameter #0 [ <optional> bool $disable = true ]
  }
  - Return [ bool ]
}

"internal" and "deprecated" are flags describing the status of the function, and "libxml" is name of the containing extension.

This isn't new with 8.0; 7.4 described is_real() the same way: "<internal, deprecated:standard>".

So while the punctuation might be better (an additional space after the colon, say), the words are in the right order.

Right.  Would be trivial to fix[1], but I don't see it as a bug.
