- Remove PHP 7.x, 8.0 and 8.1 from active CI build/publish matrices and update documentation to mark them as deprecated.
- Keep previously published images available in registries (Docker Hub / GHCR / Quay) for backwards compatibility; this PR only stops active building/publishing of those versions.
- Branch: deprecate-php-7-8.1

Inconsistent version notation. Should be 'PHP 7.x, 8.0 and 8.1' to match other documentation and the PR title.
