Beta Branch update PHP-FPM routine for PHP 8.3.16+ on CentOS 7 systems in 140.00beta01

update PHP-FPM routine for PHP 8.3.16+ on CentOS 7 systems in 140.00beta01

- PHP 8.3.16 introduced code changes for FFI ext/ffi/ffi.c are incompatible with end of life CentOS 7's glibc 2.17 version causing PHP 8.3.16+ PHP-FPM compilations to fail on CentOS 7 (el7) operating systems. AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux el8 and el9 systems are okay as they use newer glibc versions.
- This update applies a workaround patch to allow PHP 8.3.16+ to compile properly on EOL CentOS 7 systems as PHP has stated they will not update PHP to work with now end of life CentOS 7 systems
- existing users can run cmupdate command before running centmin.sh menu option 5 to compile/update PHP 8.3.16+

example error message:
