Packages depending on `php`:
- [x] ampache https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/38973
- [x] composer (need to decide how to handle running with multiple PHP versions)
- [x] phoronix-test-suite (verified to work with the `php8.1` interpreter after symlinking `/usr/bin/php8.1` to `/usr/bin/php`. Since it works with both, I don't think there is any change needed to the `phoronix-test-suite` package.)
- [x] phpMyAdmin https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/38984

Packages depending on `php-gd`:
- [x] zabbix-frontend-php https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/38982

Packages depending on `php-mysql`:
- [x] zabbix-frontend-php https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/38982

Packages with `php-devel` in *makedepends:
- [x] libguestfs (configures and compiles fine with 8.1, but php is not enabled by default anyway)

Other things to take care of:
- [x] php-pear
