PHP 8.4 support

[nicoverbruggen]

TL;DR

• The current stable version of PHP Monitor correctly supports PHP 8.4, but will start complaining at the end of the month about outdated formulae.
• PHP 8.4 will be displayed as an available upgrade for PHP 8.3. Installing this will keep both PHP 8.3 and PHP 8.4 around, no worries!
• A new version is due by the end of the month.
• Updates are slowed down due to my dealing with burn-out.

I'm currently dealing with burn-out so I'm not sure how quickly I will be able to push out an update when PHP 8.4 becomes stable. However, version 7.1 has been ready for some time now.

There is an issue with an internal cut-off date that will start to come into play tomorrow. I just found out as I was checking what I'd need to change for PHP 8.4, oops...

You may notice a message that says: This version of PHP Monitor is outdated. You can now upgrade to PHP Monitor 7.0.6, which I've created as a stop-gap measure to prevent having to prematurely release PHP Monitor 7.1 at this time.

---

Since I can only spend about 15-20 minutes behind the computer at this time, here's the plan:

• Fix cut-off date and release PHP Monitor 7.1 to EAP channel today
• Unreleased botched version 7.0.5 (it was live for about an hour)
• Release version 7.0.6 w/ confirmed fix

---

Later this November:

• On November 22/23, review the brew formulae and check for PHP 8.5 dailies
• Release PHP Monitor 7.1 with support for PHP 8.4 out of the box by Nov 30

Oops, I broke 7.0.5. Fixed with 7.0.6... my bad. Now I'm going to ditch my computer again and get some more rest. I will revisit this issue later this November, if I can concentrate enough. Otherwise, I'll release a simple v7.0.7.

@nicoverbruggen take your time, buddy. Your mental health matters. 🫶

I sat down to take a look at this today, and PHP Monitor's current stable version automatically upgraded my PHP 8.3 install to 8.4 and kept 8.3 around as the active version after the upgrade. This is indeed the preferred behaviour 🙂

It does seem like a PR is still required for Valet to support this new release, so I'm keeping my eyes open for that.

I do need to push out a new update by the end of the month, however (to avoid the version manager notice/timeout), so I will be looking into that sometime next week.
