PHPUnit 11.2.0 | AssertObjectNotEquals trait: polyfill the Assert::assertObjectNotEquals() method

PHPUnit 11.2.0 introduced the new `Assert::assertObjectNotEquals()` method.

This commit:
* Adds two traits with the same name.
    One to polyfill the method when not available in PHPUnit.
    The other to allow for `use`-ing the trait in PHPUnit versions in which the method is already natively available.
* Logic to the custom autoloader which will load the correct trait depending on the PHPUnit version used.
* Adds tests.

As the polyfill contains logic to match the PHPUnit native implementation as closely as possible, while still being PHP and PHPUnit cross-version compatible, extensive unit tests have been added to ensure the behaviour of the polyfill matches that of the original function.

Includes:
* Adding information on the new polyfill to the README.
* Adding the new polyfill to the existing `TestCases` classes.
* Updating the class docs for the `InvalidComparisonMethodException` and the `ComparatorValidator` classes.

+#### PHPUnit < 11.2.0: `Yoast\PHPUnitPolyfills\Polyfills\AssertObjectNotEquals`
+
+Polyfills the [`Assert::assertObjectNotEquals()`] method to verify two (value) objects are **_not_** considered equal.
+This is the sister-method to the PHPUnit 9.4+ `Assert::assertObjectEquals()` method.
+
+This assertion expects an object to contain a comparator method in the object itself. This comparator method is subsequently called to verify the "equalness" of the objects.
+
+The `assertObjectNotEquals()` assertion was introduced in PHPUnit 11.2.0.
