XOOPS 2.7.3 Final Released: PHP 8.6 readiness

The XOOPS Development Team is pleased to announce XOOPS 2.7.3 Final. This release hardens security across the core, prepares XOOPS for PHP 8.6 while remaining fully supported on PHP 8.2 through 8.5, adds SCEditor as an optional BBCode editor, introduces file-based debug configuration with a rotating file logger, and folds in a series of reliability fixes proven in production on xoops.org.

Ready for PHP 8.6
* Complete session save-handler contract: create_sid() ahead of its PHP 9.0 requirement, new sessions survive 8.6's updateTimestamp() routing, session.use_strict_mode pinned to the 8.6 default today
* Deprecations cleared ahead of time: constructor value-returns (guarded by a repository-wide test), is_long(), curl_close(), imagedestroy()
