8.6 has been branched out and master became 8.7

I've asked codex to help me understand the failures.

The failures had two separate causes: the generated loaders lacked PHP 8.7 branches, and the historical doc-en snapshots depended on XML entities removed from the current doc-base.

The generator now pins a compatible [doc-en, doc-base] tuple for each PHP version, so that checkouts work fine.

The second commit also fixes a deprecation in Safe\preg_split() by normalizing null to -1, preserving unlimited splitting, with a generator regression test.

Verified locally on recent PHP 8.6 and 8.7 snapshots: all 46 library tests and 41 generator tests pass on both versions.

I've manually merged the php 8.7 parts - for the preg_split, where are you seeing that problem? Adding a special case for one particular function in the middle of code generation works but feels like fixing a symptom, so I'd like to investigate that deeper to see if there's another root cause that might also be affecting other functions 🤔

Ah, I see that deprecation warning - reading the PR which introduced it, it seems to be intentional (it verifies that if PHP allows passing a deprecated parameter, then Safe should allow passing the same deprecated parameter, so that we retain compatibility)
