[META] Make Drupal 7 compatible with PHP 8.2

I've got a PHP 8.2 compatible RTBC patch for ctools that is safe but cannot be tested with the Drupal ci testbot until a D10 deprecation issue is resolved and I think they've already resolved similar issues before. Trying to nudge this along , created a new issue in the ctools queue with the notes.

💬 D7 ctools head tests affected by D10 deprecations - See upstream issues Fixed

🐛 PHP 8.2 Compatibility Fixed Adding this to related for Panels

Re #19, I have checked the issue and it seems to be a problem in the Migrate module, not in D7 core. Added a comment to that issue.

Looks like core is done, it has a green test on 8.2 running fine. So this is about key contrib modules now? If this should be kept about core, then the contrib should have a followup maybe?

@Gábor Hojtsy,
There is still one related core patch in a needs review state related to PHP 8.2 compatibility.
🐛 Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in _field_write_instance() Needs review

I think we can close this for D7 core now.

If that specific issue would help contrib modules to pass tests on more recent PHP versions, let's please add it to 📌 [meta] Priorities for 2023-12-06 release of Drupal 7 Active if it's not already there.

If there are more changes that could be made in core which should be considered, can we please file a follow-up for those?

Thanks!
