As part of the continued effort to improve PHP compatibility, the following improvments are being made:
- Removing deprecated PHP `safe_mode` checks not found in bundled external libraries.
- Change the remaining `while` loops using `each()` to `foreach` loops.
- Prevent false positives from being flagged for the `sodium_compat` library being caused by loading this in a non-standard way.
- Add inline comments to not flag deprecated PHP directives in the getID3 library.

This change introduces a new Composer script, `compat` that will scan the codebase for (detectable) potential PHP compatibility issues using the `PHP_CodeSniffer` and a custom ruleset based off of the `PHPCompayibilityWP` ruleset (`phpcompat.xml.dist`).
The command will be run as a separate job within each Travis build. While many compatibility issues and false positives have already been corrected in this commit and other Trac tickets, there are still some remaining. For that reason, the job is allowed to fail while the remainder of the potential compatibility issues are investigated and addressed. After those are resolved, the job should be set as required to pass to help prevent new compatibility issues from being introduced.
Props desrosj, jrf, all PHPCompatibilityWP and PHPCompatibility contributors.
Fixes#46152.
