Please update to latest upstream release 7.1.10

[Nish Aravamudan]

There have been a number of microreleases of PHP 7.1 upstream since the last update to Artful. As
it has been a few months, it feels appropriate to provide a MRE update to php7.1. A number of critical security and bug-fixes are present in each 7.1.x. Rather than backporting individual patches, I believe it makes significantly more sense to follow the upstream 7.1.x. Upstream PHP is demonstrating an improved approach of bugfixes only in 7.1.x:

 - 7.1.10: http://php.net/ChangeLog-7.php

The upstream CI is at: https://travis-ci.org/php/php-src and is run regularly.

Our php7.1 source package has autopkgtests for the 4 SAPIs, mod-php, cgi, fpm and cli. We have also updated the packaging to run the source tests during the build itself.

I do not believe there is a firm statement from upstream on API/ABI stability, but the general approach seems to be a BC-break would result in 7.2.0.

We already had an MRE for php7.0 in X and Y, and this is the corresponding source package in AA.

I will probably SRU this ahead of BB opening, which will imply we'll need a copy-forward for BB.

I asked Steve Langasek to reject the unapproved upload of php7.1 so that I can do a proper SRU version, now that Bionic is open.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll do an update to 7.1.11 shortly for bionic and then work with the security team to replace the update in artful.
