[Bug 1724902] Re: [MRE] Please update to latest upstream release 7.1.10

[Nish Aravamudan]

** Description changed:

  There have been a number of microreleases of PHP 7.1 upstream since the last update to Artful. As
  it has been a few months, it feels appropriate to provide a MRE update to php7.1. A number of critical security and bug-fixes are present in each 7.1.x. Rather than backporting individual patches, I believe it makes significantly more sense to follow the upstream 7.1.x. Upstream PHP is demonstrating an improved approach of bugfixes only in 7.1.x:
  
   - 7.1.10: 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,
+ Our php7.1 source package has autopkgtests for the 4 SAPIs, mod-php,
  cgi, fpm and cli. We have also updated the packaging 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 7.2.0.
+ 
+ We already had an MRE for php7.0 in X and Y, and this is the
+ corresponding source package in AA.
