Switch PHP 8.3 to stable

Thanks for this! I went to make this change late last week, but docker-library/php had not yet been updated.

Any reason why we shouldn't also update $latest to be 8.3 at the same time?

I was hoping we could add the PECL extensions in there now as well. imagick and memcached have not yet been updated, and xDebug has 3.3.0alpha2 out which adds support for PHP 8.3. So just need to follow up a bit later for those.

I noticed memcached wasn't available and caused the container to fail to start when trying to run it with LOCAL_PHP_MEMCACHED in the core repo.

I didn't bump the latest as this was done separately for 8.2: #60

I'm fine with separately. The main reason why that was separate was due to 8.0 and 8.1 never being set to latest. I wouldn't mind establishing the practice of bumping latest at the same time as GA for a new version, but it may best to evaluate any side effects each time.

Dito ;-) Still have the Docker page open in a tab waiting for it to be available. Thanks @johnbillion for spotting it!

I'd say: let's make it latest once the extensions are available.

Note: at this time, the WP Core xdebug test group is still not being run on PHP 8.3 due to there not being a stable version supporting 8.3 available. Along the same lines, I expect a number of imagick tests are currently being skipped.

FYI: Xdebug 3.3.0 has been released: https://xdebug.org/announcements/2023-11-30

Just saw this - Imagick is not (yet) PHP 8.3 compatible: Imagick/imagick#641
