Raises the minimum PHP to 8.3 for 0.26.0 and adds a version support policy to `LANGUAGES.md`. ### Why now - PHP 8.1 reached end of life on 2025-12-31; PHP 8.2 reaches it on 2026-12-31. - 8.3 is the oldest release still receiving upstream security support, so it is the natural floor for 0.26.0. - PHP 8.1 additionally carries end-of-life engine defects that upstream will not fix. ### Changes - `composer.json`: `"php": "^8.1"` → `"^8.3"`; `lib/php/README.md` minimum → 8.3. - CI: PHP matrix `[8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5]` → `[8.3, 8.4, 8.5]`; static-analysis job → 8.3. - Build images: `ubuntu-jammy` and `ubuntu-focal` → PHP 8.3 (both via `ppa:ondrej/php`); `ubuntu-noble` already ships 8.3. - `LANGUAGES.md`: PHP `Min` → 8.3, plus a new **Version support policy** section (a guideline, not a hard rule — keep EOL versions only while the cost is manageable, drop when no longer practical). **Breaking change:** raises the minimum PHP version; users on 8.1/8.2 must upgrade. Reviewer note: the jammy/focal image rebuilds (jammy gains the ondrej PPA, focal bumps its version) are validated by this PR's CI — they were not rebuilt locally.
