Upgrade to php 8.1 or 8.2

[belambic]

PHP 8.0 is reaching EOL on 26th November 2023, so it would be nice to get the image upgraded.

I've installed our environment on a test EC2 instance running debian and PHP 8.2 and everything looks good so far, but I haven't done a full test of all our contrib modules yet.

Also it seems like php-mcrypt has been brought back into the fold maybe, because I was able to do a regular install of the module instead of jumping through the pecl/pear hoops we had to do before.

Here is a pull request which uses version 8.1 of the community Drupal image as a base.

If tests pass this should be good to go!

I prefer 8.1 at this point for Drupal 7, and even Drupal 10, because PHP 8.2 introduced a deprecation notice for classes which use properties which are not explicitly defined; and a quick glance at several contrib modules shows that many have not included this change yet.

Tests are passing at #39

I will merge and report back when the image with PHP 8.1 is published.

This now works at:

docker pull dcycle/drupal:7php8 && docker run --rm dcycle/drupal:7php8 /bin/bash -c 'php -v'
...
PHP 8.1.25 (cli) (built: Oct 28 2023 02:32:47) (NTS)

Thanks Albert, this seems to be working well, we're testing it alongside an 8.2 ec instance and both are fine so far
