[PHP 8.4 support] and thecodingmachine/safe package

[llaville]

Hello @theofidry

Did you have in mind to replace the thecodingmachine/safe package that did not support PHP 8.4 runtime (lot of dreprecations raised)

• https://github.com/box-project/box/blob/4.6.2/composer.json#L44
• https://github.com/thecodingmachine/safe

Latest version 2.5.0 is very old and project seems dead (no activity since at least one year)

Trying to compile a project with BOX 4.6.2 today on PHP 8.4.0RC4 platform and got masses of dreprecations, and have no PHAR built !

Of course there is a workaround to build the PHAR with following command line (removing deprecations display) :

php -d error_reporting=24575 vendor/bin/box compile

[llaville]

Other BOX commands are impacted, and info is unusable :

In PharInfo.php line 192:

  The command "'/usr/local/bin/php' '/shared/backups/php/box-4.6.phar' 'extract' '/shared/backups/bartlett/graph-uml/graph-uml.phar' '/tmp/Hu
  mbugBox/Pharaoh17771' '--no-interaction' '--internal'" failed.

  Exit Code: 1(General error)

  Working directory: /shared/backups/bartlett/graph-uml

  Output:

Context is : PHP 8.4.0RC4, Box 4.6.2 and dreprecations not reported after building a PHAR version of my project https://github.com/llaville/graph-uml (source code on branch 1.6 coming soon online)

php -d error_reporting=24575 /shared/backups/php/box-4.6.phar info ./graph-uml.phar

I'll switch for a fork or remove it in the near future
