Dev: drop PHP 8.0 support with CI 4.4#7320

Description

@element-code

opened on Mar 1, 2023

PHP 8.0 will reach the end of life on 28 Nov 2022.
https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

Relating to #6921 : guessing that this won't be CI 4.3 thing, so we are already at a breaking change then.
Whilst at it, drop PHP 8.0 as well, since it is already in its security-support-only phase (which itself ends in a few months 26 Nov 2023) and migration to at least PHP 8.1 should be in the process already.
This allows simplifying code using new features, at least for CI 4.4.
PHP 8.0 installation percentages are already dropping their share already, since people are upgrading to newer versions quicker than back in the day.

Using up energy supporting nearly EOL Versions in a "new PHP world" which is moving along way faster is a waste of energy in my opinion. It kinda feels like parts of the CI Community have not yet realized, that the "good old days" of having PHP 5.6 maintained for many years are over and moving along is the new normal.

                          PHP 8.0 will reach the end of life on 28 Nov 2022.
                          https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php
                          Relating to #6921 : guessing that this won't be CI 4.3 thing, so we are already at a breaking change then.
                          
Whilst at it, drop PHP 8.0 as well, since it is already in its security-support-only phase (which itself ends in a few months 26 Nov 2023) and migration to at least PHP 8.1 should be in the process already.
                          
This allows simplifying code using new features, at least for CI 4.4.
                          
PHP 8.0 installation percentages are already dropping their share already, since people are upgrading to newer versions quicker than back in the day.

                          Using up energy supporting nearly EOL Versions in a "new PHP world" which is moving along way faster is a waste of energy in my opinion. It kinda feels like parts of the CI Community have not yet realized, that the "good old days" of having PHP 5.6 maintained for many years are over and moving along is the new normal.
