Bug description:Contravariant Parameters bug

Description:
------------
When class implement an interface it is not possible to override
function parameter.
The code works fine if base function is in class

Test script:
---------------
interface Test{
    public function f1($param);
}
class inherited implements Test {
    public function f1(string $param):\DOMElement{
        return new \DOMElement($param);
    }
}
$data = new inherited();
$node = $data->f1("node");
var_dump($node->nodeName);

Expected result:
----------------
string(4) "node" 

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Declaration of inherited::f1(string $param): DOMElement
must be compatible with Test::f1($param)
