Description

PHP 8.1 will not be EOL until December 31st and the code still is trivially compatible with PHP 8.1. Re-add support for PHP 8.1 for 3.8.x to give users one branch with additional flexibility to support a wide(r) range of PHP versions.

Support for 8.1 is dropped at the same time as we add support for 8.5

https://github.com/laminas/technical-steering-committee/blob/main/meetings/minutes/2025-10-06-TSC-Minutes.md#adding-85-support-everywhere

The TSC members decided in an asyncronous poll that once PHP 8.5 support will be released in a package, the support for 8.1 will be removed in the same PR. In order to have only 4 PHP versions in composer.json, and reduce the release burden.

8.1 support is available in the previous version if you need it.
