PHP 8.0/8.1: Update SimplePie to version 1.5.7

[jrf]

A new version of SimplePie has just been released.

This version should show significant improvements in the compatibility of SimplePie with PHP 8.0, 8.1 and even contains an initial PHP 8.2 fix.

The release also contains a number of other bug fixes.

With that in mind, the SimplePie library should be updated.

I've done a cursory check of the changes and they look sane to me, but would very much like to invite a second opinion.

I'm not sure if this qualifies to still be included in WP 5.9, but if not, it should definitely get the 6.0 early tag.

Thanks for the ticket!

I think this can still be included in WP 5.9, but it looks like @version tag and the SIMPLEPIE_VERSION constant in the ​SimplePie.php file are incorrect: they still say 1.5.6. Should we expect a 1.5.8 release to correct that?

Good question - was just going to open an issue about it and saw you already did ;-)

Reopening to see if comment:3 can be addressed before 5.9 final release.

@SergeyBiryukov I've raised PR ​https://github.com/simplepie/simplepie/pull/710 to fix the version update at SimplePie.

Thank you @faisal03! Hopefully a new release can happen for 5.9.

Resetting keywords as the patch has already been committed. Follow-up in this ticket will be to update if SimplePie releases in time for 5.9.
