 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="44953"
 General: Add sodium_compat library for crypto APIs in PHP < 7.2

 This adds a pure PHP implementation of the cryptographic functions
 supported in PHP 7.2+. It provides the necessary backwards compatibility
 required to support signature verification and other security features
 going forward across all supported PHP versions.

 Props paragoninitiativeenterprises
 Fixes #45806. See #39309.
