PHP >=7.1

[gsteel]

This pull is WIP for comment/review. It's purpose is to clean up the library and use scalar type hints where possible and update deps etc. I also plan to…

• Introduce use of Exceptions in their own namespace where appropriate so that the lib only throws exception under \Prismic\Exception\ExceptionInterface
• Replace Caching with Psr\Cache
• Increase test coverage and modernise the test suite
• Use strict types throughout

Thanks again for you initiative.

For now, we want to first make some updates to the php-kit, including the Psr\Cache, but to keep the actual PHP versions support.

And after, we plan to make the new version of the php-kit that makes the move to PHP >= 7.1. Aim is to publish this version in November.

So why was the v2 branch merged into master? These are massive breaking changes so why not just crack on with all the other BC breaks? How are you going to release fixes and updates for customers using v1 api in 3.x between now and November?

[debiasio]

Ok, so, let's publish all the breaking changes in one go, for php-kit v4. Let's make small PRs for each update:

• this current PR for PHP support => 7.1
• then, PR for caching
• then, PR for tests

We are now examining this PR.

OK, I'll leave out Psr\Cache for now, but it make more sense to me to test at the same time, that way you're only merging code that theoretically does what it's supposed to do??

[debiasio]

Yes yes, add tests according to this PR. Thanks

@jbdebiasio How's this looking to you?

@jbdebiasio, @srenault - Any chance of review?

Other than my few questions, seems great. We'll go through it during the call with @jbdebiasio
