Add support PHP 8.1

[zeriyoshi]

1.0.4 works fine with PHP 8.1 as it is now, but it seems that it cannot be installed from PECL due to a limitation in package.xml.
I would like to see it released as 1.0.5 with no changes to the implementation.

@remicollet
Do you plan to fix this issue?
It is possible to workaround this by installing from source, but that is very tricky 😭

@zeriyoshi I'm not the lead of this extension, see https://pecl.php.net/package/mcrypt

BTW, perhaps time to get rid of this dead cow...

@remicollet
Oops, sorry!
I will contact the official maintainer. Thanks.

I use this to upgrade PHP with as little modification to the existing system as possible.
This should not be used for new applications.

Can you help us?
Working fine with PHP 8.1 at this time. The only problem is the manifest.

But, Remi's says, may want to start thinking about future maintenance.

I mean this ext is there for legacy needs.
I recommend you read
https://blog.remirepo.net/post/2015/07/07/About-libmcrypt-and-php-mcrypt
which explain why using mcrypt is a bad idea, and why it have been removed from php-src and moved to pecl.

Thank you @remicollet @derickr

I am aware of this and have previously attempted to rework my application using ext-openssl.

However, there were some incompatibilities, which could have been fixed with additional support, but time was short and I decided to use PECL mcrypt. The same is true this time.

I am in favor of abolish this extension altogether in the future.
