v1.18.1: mysql for M1, ldaps clients, Acquia pull improved, many tool upgrades

Installation/Upgrade

See the installation instructions for details, but it's easy:

• macOS Homebrew and Linux Linuxbrew: brew install drud/ddev/ddev or brew upgrade drud/ddev/ddev ). (You may need a brew update for homebrew to find the new release.).
• Windows: Use choco upgrade -y ddev, or download the ddev_windows_installer below.
• Linux and macOS with the install_ddev.sh script: Download the script, make it executable, and run it: ./install_ddev.sh or curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drud/ddev/master/scripts/install_ddev.sh && bash install_ddev.sh
• And anywhere, you can just download the tarball or zipball, untar or unzip it, and place the executable in your path where it belongs.
• Consider ddev delete images after upgrading to free up disk space used by previous docker image versions. This does no harm.

🚛 Key changes for v1.18.1

• MySQL 5.7 and 8.0 are now supported on arm64 (Mac M1) machines. Thanks to Tag1 Consulting for sponsoring this feature!
• LDAP client connections weren't working in DDEV v1.18.0 due to a change in package configuration in Debian Bullseye. Thanks to @joelpittet for chasing this and fixing it in #3284
• PHP 8.1.0RC6
• Acquia pull example has been significantly improved and is much speedier. Please see about refreshing your acquia.yaml if you use the Acquia integration.

≏ Minor changes

• On PHP 8.x there was an annoying complaint from php-uploadprogress, this has been fixed upstream. See #3278
• Mutagen is upgraded to v0.12.0, but that shouldn't cause any changes, but you'll see it auto-upgrade when you start for the first time.
• Various upgrades of tools inside the web container, including acli, composer, etc.
• 'ddev debug download-images' command was added by @shaal in #3310. This will pull all the images associated with a version of DDEV.
• ddev debug router-nginx-config command added by @cmuench in #3302. This shows the current ddev-router nginx configuration.
• gitpod integration improvements
• Users will automatically get the latest composer version on a new project.

Caveats

• blackfire.io and thus ddev blackfire is not yet ready for PHP 8.1 (it works everywhere else)
• See the v1.18.0 release notes

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thanks!

Thanks to Tag1 Consulting for sponsoring the Mysql for Mac M1 feature.

Thanks to the many contributors who added to this release (and see the NEW contributors below!)

DDEV is very much a mashup of so many wonderful projects.

• Thanks to so many upstream open-source projects. There's no way to name them all, but of course PHP, Nginx, Apache, MariaDB, and on and on. And Debian, Ubuntu, the Linux kernel and thousands of tools.
• The mutagen and xhprof features were financially sponsored and promoted by Tag1 Consulting. Wow!
• Successful mutagen support would not have been possible without loads and loads of coaching and advice from Jacob Howard, the maintainer of Mutagen.
• All the PHP packages used by DDEV are provided by deb.sury.org. It would be really hard to put it together without that. Sponsor on Github sponsors or lots of other ways.
• Xdebug support relies on 20 years of faithful support, development, maintenance by derickr. Consider supporting his work. https://github.com/sponsors/derickr
• xhprof has been around for years, but it has to get love over all that time. Thanks to andypost and the other maintainers that keep it going over time.
