Update type to PHP 8.2.x #25

Open izmeez opened 2 months ago

izmeez commented 2 months ago

Currently when the Backdrop CMS quickstart is launched it creates an instance with type Backdrop-CMS, PHP 7.4.x, Apache. Since Backdrop works well with php 8.1.x and php 8.2.x it would be nice to update the type to php 8.1.x out of the box. Also performance is much faster with php 8. I'm not sure where this change needs to be implemented.

The change may also require updating the Drush version for php 8.1

The Bee command line utility works fine with php 8.1

Following further discussions with the Backdrop core team and asking about contrib modules it was suggested we should change the default Backdrop platform to use php 8.2.x. It may also reflect better on Drupal Forge to be seen to be using the newer versions of php where ever possible.
