Support PHP 7.4–8.5 and upgrade dev tooling

[rick-lam]

Summary

Widens the supported PHP range to 7.4 through 8.5 and upgrades the dev toolchain to PHPUnit 9, PHP_CodeSniffer 4, graze/standards 3, and Mockery 1.6.

Changes

composer.json

• php: ^7.4 → ^7.4 || ^8.0
• phpunit/phpunit: ^8 → ^9
• squizlabs/php_codesniffer: ^3.5.0 → ^4.0
• graze/standards: ^2.0 → ^3.0
• mockery/mockery: ^1.2 → ^1.6
• symfony/var-dumper (dev): ^4.2 → ^4.2 || ^5.0

Tests — PHPUnit 9 API migration (removed APIs the suite relied on)

• @expectedException annotations → $this->expectException(...)
• assertRegExp → assertMatchesRegularExpression
• assertInternalType('array', …) → assertIsArray(…)

phpunit.xml.dist — migrated to the v9 schema (<filter><whitelist> → <coverage><include>).

PHP 8 cleanliness (zero deprecations across 7.4→8.5)

• Token::eq(): cast strcasecmp() args to string (null-to-string deprecation)
• ${var} → {$var} string interpolation in tests
• Guarded ReflectionProperty::setAccessible() behind PHP_VERSION_ID < 80100 (still required on 7.4; no-op + deprecated on 8.5)

CI — matrix now covers PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5.

Notes

• graze/standards: there is no v4 release on Packagist (latest is v3.0.0, itself built against PHP_CodeSniffer ^4), so this uses ^3.0.
• --prefer-lowest runs on PHP 7.4 only. The library's lowest declared runtime deps (doctrine/dbal ^2.5, symfony/console ^5) predate PHP 8, so lowest-deps resolution isn't PHP-8-safe. If we'd rather the floor itself be PHP-8-installable, we can raise doctrine/dbal to ^2.13 (still supports 7.4) and run --prefer-lowest across the whole matrix.

Testing

Locally on PHP 8.5: phpcs clean, phpunit passes (727 tests, 856 assertions), zero deprecations.
