PHP 8.6 support

[jaydrogers]

Hey @mlocati,

As always, I am super grateful for all your work. I hope you're finding some rest after patching all those PHP servers this week 🤪

I just wanted to ask you a question on PHP 8.6 support (since it is coming up next month). Will install-php-extensions be able to support it?

I know PECL and PIE is a big discussion over this:

• Switch to PIE #1125
• Add support for PHP 8.6 RC #1378
• Missing dependency for gd extension on PHP 8.6 #1379

For background

I'm working on prepping our serversideup/php images for 8.6, but I need to figure out if I need to have a install-php-extensions for PHP <= 8.5 and PIE for >= 8.6.

I'm really hoping we can still use your script, but totally understand if life's keeping you busy 😃

✌️ Thanks again for all your hard work. It does not go unnoticed.
