 Build/Test Tools: Enable testing for PHP 8.4.

 With PHP 8.4 due out in November later this year, contributors have been
 working on ensuring WordPress 6.7 is as compatible as possible. Enough
 progress has been made during this release cycle where PHPUnit tests now
 run successfully with no failures reported.

 This change enables PHP 8.4 testing throughout Core’s GitHub Action
 workflows to ensure no new problems are introduced going forward.

 There are two exceptions to this:
 - The Importer plugin has some compatibility issues that produce test
 failures. There is an open pull request upstream, but these problematic
 tests have been marked skipped when running on PHP 8.4 until that PR is
 merged.
 - Since no stable versions of xDebug with PHP 8.4 support have been
 published, these tests are also skipped for now.

 Props jrf, desrosj.
 See #62061.
