Add compatibility for php 8.4 by removing deprecation warnings

[PNardman]

Feature or problem being solved

Adding explicit nullable to parameters since implicit nullable parameters are deprecated in PHP 8.4

Affected code:

Status::L35 Satus::L47 ServerCallWrite::L94

Further details

Adding the explicit nullable parameter, gets rid of unnecessary deprecation warnings for php 8.4, however since we need to support php 7 we need to remove the type hinting, since php 7 does not support this feature.

I think we should differentiate the (major) version to support 8.4 instead of removing the typing, and drop the support for php7?

since php versions 7.x and 8.1 have reached EOL (https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php), how's dropping the support of 7.0 - 8.1, and publish the release as 2.0.0 for example? what do you think? cc: @stanley-cheung
