Hi all,

since Microsoft won't support PHP 8 and beyond, it appears to be
reasonable to fork the microsoft/php-sdk-binary-tools[1] to the PHP org
account on Github.  The PHP-SDK is required to build PHP on Windows[2],
and at least some adaptions to newer PHP versions need to be done[3],
and there is a PR for building for arm64[4], which may be rejected by
Microsoft.

Thoughts?  Objections?

I have forked to php/php-sdk-binary-tools, and GH support has detached
the fork, so this is now a standalone repo.  I have also updated the
AppVeyor build script and the PECL build machine to use that repo now.

Nothing to do there.  This is apparently specific to MSFT repos on Github.
