Re: [PEAR] Port Image_Color and Image_Canvas to PHP8

Dear list,

I took a bit of time to work on Image_Canvas (it was not without a bit 
of pain):

  * PR #6 (https://github.com/pear/Image_Canvas/pull/6) modernize the
    scripts and add GitHub actions for the current code.
  * Building on that, I was able to port to PHP 8. I will open the PR
    after #6 is merged.

There are 3 caveats however:

  * PostScript output is not tested yet because I have some font issue
    and you need the PS extension
    (https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.ps.php). It should be doable.
  * PDF output is not tested because it uses the old PDFlib extension.
    This code needs to be re-done completely (probably based on FPDF).
  * As we require a version of Image_Color compatible with PHP 8, I use
    a branch in my fork (see composer.json). Of course, I will update that.
