 Build/Test Tools: Add NPM script for using the Composer installed version
 of PHPUnit.

 The `test:php` NPM script runs the PHP test suite using the system
 installed version of PHPUnit. In some cases, the version of PHPUnit
 installed through Composer may be preferred.

 Currently, this is true when running the test suite using PHP 8. In order
 to add support for PHP 8 while maintaining compatibility for PHP 5.6.20,
 PHPUnit 7.x must be used. But, some modifications are required to be
 compatible with PHP 8 (see [49037], [48957]).

 This change introduces the `test:php-composer` NPM script, which will run
 the test suite using the composer installed version.

 Props desrosj, SergeyBiryukov.
 Fixes #51456.
