Token::replace() should accept any type of callable

Problem/Motivation

Token replace takes a callback function, which is expected to be a string. This makes it difficult to be used for classes with methods. This problem was raised when doing the Token contrib module port to D8.

Proposed resolution

Make the argument accept a callable instead.

API changes

Original report by @Xano

Token::replace() accepts a callable in its $options['callback'] parameter:
1) The parameter does not clearly state what the callback should do.
2) The code keeps calling the callback a function, while it technically accepts any kind of callable, as it should.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!

    Still useful, but per #34, we only need the docblock change.
