 Previously: #48371, #51399, #51925

 The latest version of sodium_compat includes polyfills for new features
 slated to land in PHP 8.1 (read more:
 https://paragonie.com/blog/2021/05/ristretto255-for-php-community) and
 fixes a race condition with the autoloader that caused an "undefined
 constant" error on some systems:
 https://github.com/paragonie/sodium_compat/issues/122

 This should be safe to include in the next 5.7.x release, as well as to
 backport into other supported branches.
