PHP 7.2 - RC 6

[tz]

Summary

Aloha,

attached a patch to bring PHP 7.2 - RC 5 into the Portstree! :)

The patch is created with "--show-copies-as-ads" to allow you to use it. All modules are created with "svn cp" and than modified. The only exception is security/php72-sodium which is a new module. The mcrypt module was removed in case you wonder.

This time there are no great changes except of some renaming of files. This causes the most PECL libs to be incompatible with PHP 7.2. So like the changes in PHP 7.0 there will be much fallout for PECL.

It would be nice, at one point, to document in each patch, why they exist, I'm sure there are some that have been here since the 5.2 era or even before and that may not be needed any more.

This really would be nice, but for most patches i just can't say it. But i will set it to my ToDo List for the future.
Where/how should this documented?

Well, to find out when a patch was added, svn log should follow copies, so you can track it back.

As to how, just add a small description at the beginning of the patch file, before the actual patch, it is reused when you run make makepatch, so it won't get lost.

I added @ale because of the needed approval for changes of Mk/Uses/php.mk

Update Diff for RC 6. This will be the last RC.

The patch to Mk/Uses/php.mk is fine.
