Add PHP 8.4 support

[cedric-anne]

Implicitly nullable parameter declarations are deprecated in PHP 8.4. The proposed change is safe and is not considered by PHP as a signature change, see https://php.watch/versions/8.4/implicitly-marking-parameter-type-nullable-deprecated

Unfortunately, this syntax is compatible only with PHP >= 7.1. I propose to raise the minimal PHP requirement to 7.1.

The deprecation warning on PHP 8.4 is preventing us to active our CI checks on this incoming PHP version. We could still apply manually a patch, but we would prefer to help to fix it in your lib directly.

Can we have another look at this now that https://github.com/swaggest/json-diff/releases/tag/v3.12.0 is out?
