build php-intl against a different version of ICU not the 69 version

[George J. Carrette]

The php 8.1 /usr/lib64/php/modules/intl.so looks for libicudata.so.69 which has an undesired definition in fr_CA for the dollar symbol
as described in https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/CLDR-14862 a test from php is

https://github.com/gjcarrette/test-php-number-formatter/blob/main/test1.php

The github actions for the above repository show that ICU version 66 works for fr_CA.

[Colin O'Dell]

Based on this StackOverflow thread it sounds like CLDR 40 contains the fix reverting that undesired definition, and ICU 70 is built using CLDR 40, so maybe upgrading ICU instead of downgrading would work?

[Remi Collet]

Plan is to update to icu 71.1 in the next weeks

[Remi Collet]

Update to ICU 71.1 in https://git.remirepo.net/cgit/rpms/lib/icu-last.git/commit/?id=f86e66ece4219f85469d573ace5f5f93edf7400a

Next builds will use it

• 8.0.23RC1 and 8.1.10RC1 planned for Aug 18th

And if everything works as expected

• GA versions planned for Sep 1st
