[Bug 1724896] Re: [MRE] Please update to latest upstream release 7.0.25

[Nish Aravamudan]

** Description changed:

  There have been a number of microreleases of PHP 7.0 upstream since the
  last update to Xenial (which corresponded to the last update in Zesty). As
  it has been a few months, it feels appropriate to provide another
  MRE update to php7.0. A number of critical security and bug-fixes are
  present in each 7.0.x. Rather than backporting individual patches (e.g.,
  Bug # 1569509), I believe it makes significantly more sense to follow
  the upstream 7.0.x. Upstream PHP is demonstrating an improved approach
  of bugfixes only in 7.0.x:
  
-  - 7.0.24: http://php.net/ChangeLog-7.php
+  - 7.0.25: http://php.net/ChangeLog-7.php
  
  The upstream CI is at: https://travis-ci.org/php/php-src and is run
  regularly.
  
  Our php7.0 source package has autopkgtests for the 4 SAPIs, mod-php,
  cgi, fpm and cli. We have also updated the packing to run the source
  tests during the build itself.
  
  I do not believe there is a firm statement from upstream on API/ABI
  stability, but the general approach seems to be a BC-break would result
  in 7.1.0 (which is present in Artful, and is why the Artful task is invalid).
