Comment:

 In [changeset:"48789" 48789]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="48789"
 Code Modernization: Only call `libxml_disable_entity_loader()` in PHP < 8.

 This function has been deprecated in PHP 8.0 because in libxml 2.9.0,
 external entity loading is disabled by default, so this function is no
 longer needed to protect against XXE attacks.

 Props jrf.
 Fixes #50898.
