External PHP: Update to PR #29

[MeowSky49887]

External PHP Support

Description:

This update introduces the ability to add and remove external PHP versions to the PHP Version Manager (PVM). Users can now manage custom PHP installations by specifying the path to the PHP executable. This allows better flexibility for managing PHP versions that are not installed through PVM, but are available locally. (Reference: #23 on GitHub Discussions)

Features:

• pvm add : Adds a custom PHP version by specifying the path to an external PHP executable.
• pvm remove : Removes an externally added PHP version by specifying the path to the PHP executable.
• Supports managing non-PVM-installed PHP versions alongside those installed via PVM.
• Enhances compatibility with multiple PHP installations, including system-wide or custom versions.
• pvm install add new argument for specify installation path (pvm install [nts] [path]).
• Updated Documentation: The README.md has been updated with setup instructions and details about the new commands.

Once this is ready I'll review it alongside #29 and hopefully merge into the one release

@MeowSky49887 This is exactly what I've been looking for. I've searched extensively but couldn't find a good tool to manage PHP versions on Windows with minimal installation and overhead.

Most existing solutions, such as Herd, Laragon, XAMPP, and WAMP, bundle and manage their own PHP installations. Even though I already have separate PHP installations for my own projects, these tools still require their own PHP directories, which makes version management more cumbersome than it needs to be.

This approach is much cleaner and more flexible.

I'd like to request @hjbdev to merge this as soon as possible so it can be available for everyone. I believe it will be a valuable addition for many Windows PHP developers.

@Ahmedraza-fyntune If you'd like, I'd be happy to open a new PR updated for the latest PVM 2.0.0 version.
Thank you for taking the time to review and consider my PR. I hope it will be useful to you in the future!
