PHP 7.2 breaks unmanaged dependency

[stephenswat]

While installing Keepstar on a machine with PHP 7.2 I noticed that the software does not work. After a little bit of investigation I realised that this is because Guzzle 6.2 is included in /libraries/ (without being managed by Composer). PHP 7.2 changes the count function which means Guzzle 6.2 is incompatible with it (https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle/pull/1686). Guzzle >= 6.3.0 is compatible.

Please, if you can, either add a note that Keepstar requires PHP 7.0 or 7.1 (and not >=7.2), remove the unmanaged dependency and have it managed by Composer or update the version of Guzzle included in the source tree.

With PHP7.0 being end of life and 7.1 out of maintenance, I suggest updateing Guzzle is the ideal and only way to solve this issue

I agree with @StephenSwat for adding the guzzle dependency in composer.

I did it in my fork (currently no time for PR). And it works fine, you just need to remove the additional autoloader line.

@Neodork Where is this additional autoloader line location?

@DashieSystems Think I eventually decided to not do that but instead just add the library using composer instead. You can check the fork I have in my profile. It's been a long time since I implemented this solution.
