Redlock algorithm implementation for PHP in Rust

Requirements

• cargo-php
• PHP with php-dev installed >= 8.1
• Rust >= 1.61
• CLang 5

Generating PHP stubs

cargo-php have a builtin feature to generate stubs but it's not finalized and stable enough. We use for the moment https://github.com/sasezaki/php-extension-stub-generator to generate with this current usage:

$ cargo build
$ php \
    -dextension=target/debug/libext_redlock_php.so \
    php-extension-stub-generator.phar dump-files ext-redlock-php stubs

TODO

• Build for all supported versions of PHP
• Create release artifacts for all PHP versions and OS plaform.
