Require intl extension as a dependency on this repo

[diegosurita]

As I mentioned on PR https://github.com/kamilwylegala/cakephp2-php8/pull/64, CakePHP 2 docs don't require intl PHP extension. I oppened this issue to discuss the possibility to add intl as an requirement on this repo. With intl we can stop hidding strftime warning deprecations.

Hey @diegosurita

Introducing Intl would be a breaking change in the framework. But hey... fork is about support of newest PHP versions. In my project I already use Intl, so from my perspective it's totally fine.

I think we could first put a note to the readme file, that we plan to add Intl requirement and link here to this issue. Devs will have a chance to comment on that. If no concerns from others, I think we could commit the Intl requirement to the code base in few months.

What do you think?

Hey! Yeah I already use it too.

That sounds perfect!

Ok. @kamilwylegala do you think we can put a date to do this change and add it on the note? If yes, what date would it be?

I just updated the readme file. Beginning of May 2024 sounds OK? We will have 3 months to gather any feedback here. If no objections from others, let's just start rolling this out :raised_hands:
