Lowers the minimum PHP version from 8.3.36 to 8.1.

  • ext.php: the enable check now accepts PHP 8.1.0 and later (PHP_VERSION_ID >= 80100).
  • composer.json: require.php is now >=8.1.0.
  • The install language string now says PHP 8.1 or later.
  • phpBB requirements are unchanged. phpBB 4.0 itself needs PHP 8.2, so the lower floor only matters on phpBB 3.3 boards.

Claude linted every PHP file on PHP 8.1, checked for functions that need PHP 8.2 or later (none found), and enabled the extension on a phpBB 3.3 board running PHP 8.1.
