Release major version 5

[phil-davis]

which will support PHP 7.4 8.0 8.1 8.2 and have type declarations on parameters and return values etc as far as possible with features available in PHP 7.4.

If possible, increase the phpstan level to 6. That requires adding a lot of parameters and return type detail in PHPdoc (specially of the shape of arrays. I will try adjusting a few things and then report how it goes, and how big a job it seems.

I was making lots of progress, then got going on vobject sabre-io/vobject#591 and it needs "a lot" (tm) of specifying types through the code. I have not got back to it for the last 3 months.

Is there anything anyone can do to help?

Once #1497 is merged we can create a 4.x branch and move towards 5.x on master .... objections @phil-davis @staabm ?

[phil-davis]

yes, get as many little fixes and tweaks released in the 4.* series and then we can branch it, and do real work in master towards v5.

[staabm]

sounds good to me

@phil-davis if you think its helpful, I can infer parameter/return types with rector for most stuff, I think
