Provide an option to scan for problems onType, not just onSave.

This is a bit harder than just calling the current handler on both save and change since phpmd cannot run on just the updated part of your code, which is the normal procedure for language server extensions when implementing the change event. The phpmd command line tool always needs to run on the entire file. Running phpmd for each change event would off course result in terrible performance since it is quite a heavy job that lasts up to a few hundred ms. Robust throttling will be needed. Not planning to add this on short term, maybe in a 2.0 version.
