#50379: PHPMailer update introduces minor backcompat issue with phpmailerException
and SMTP

[48033] for #41750 replaces the old PHPMailer with the newer version.
In place of the old version, the class-phpmailer.php and class-smtp.php
files are deprecated and load the new code, along with adding a class
alias.
However, the old class-phpmailer.php file defined both the PHPMailer
class, and the phpmailerException class. This means the new one should to.
Recommend adding this to class-phpmailer.php:
`require __DIR__ . '/PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php';`
and
`class_alias( PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception::class, 'phpmailerException'
);`
Similarly, the class-smtp.php is now loading the new file, but it is
missing the class alias to account for the namespace. So it should
probably have this in it:
`class_alias( PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP::class, 'SMTP' );`
These aliases would only be needed if these files were loaded, any plugin
that relies on them should update to the more direct file includes, and
account for the namespaces themselves at that time. The aliases are
therefore only for backwards compatibility.
