[pkg-php-pear] Bug#976811: transition: php8.1

[Ondřej Surý]

I disagree, but I uploaded reverted package. It’s after release and we have two years before next release and a year before PHP 8.2, so unstable could be a bit unstable. It’s not like the bump from php7.4 to php8.1 is that large as it was from php5.6 to php7.0.

The transition to php8.x has been announced a year ago.
