PHP 8.4 support

[cal-tec]

I have tried to add the pecl gearman extension to php 8.4 but it currently has a maximum php version of 8.3.99 for version 2.1.2.
With php 8.4 now launched this is preventing users from upgrading to php 8.4 where they require the gearman extension.

I tried to prepare a PR, see #37
Should we do something else?
What do you think @rlerdorf?

@mykiwi : PR #37 was merged and a version 2.1.3 released. Does it install and work on PHP 8.4 now? Please confirm.

I don't see the 2.1.3 on https://pecl.php.net/package/gearman
And when I try to install it:

pecl/gearman requires PHP (version >= 7.0.0, version <= 8.3.99, excluded versions: 6.0.0), installed version is 8.4.2
No valid packages found

@mykiwi : You need to install version 2.1.3, obviously, which you can download at https://github.com/php/pecl-networking-gearman/releases/tag/gearman-2.1.3

[mykiwi]

I'm using https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer to install extensions
Example:

$ docker run --rm -ti php:8.4 bash

$ ( curl -sSLf https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/releases/latest/download/install-php-extensions -o - || echo 'return 1' ) | sh -s \
    gearman-2.1.3

[...]

Failed to download pecl/gearman, version "2.1.3", latest release is version 2.1.2, stability "stable", use "channel://pecl.php.net/gearman-2.1.2" to install
install failed

@hjr3 could you publish the new version on pecl please?

@mykiwi i am not involved in this project anymore. It looks like @rlerdorf was the last one to do a release.
