This series of Pull Requests improve some basic code styles.
Mostly if/else syntax improvements, focussing on removing else statements which follow returns (or continues in loops).
Also de-nesting of if structures by adding early returns/elses.

Example:

function foobar($foo, $bar)
{
   if($foo > $bar)
   {
      return $foo;
   } else {
      return $bar;
   }
}

Can be changed to:

function foobar($foo, $bar)
{
   if($foo > $bar)
   {
      return $foo;
   }

   return $bar;
}

PS: This only illustrates the 'issue' with the useless else statements.

If this doesn't find any interest within a week or 2, I'll close this PR and create new PRs with smaller fixes (one fix per PR).

Due to lack of interest (read: not enough testing), this is now closed.
