Add GitHub Actions CI for 5.x.x and fix curl_close deprecation on PHP 8+ (#900)

This PR re-implements changes from
#864, solving #863

---

🤖 This is a minimal backport addressing PHP 8+ compatibility for the
5.x.x branch.

## Changes

- **Add CI pipeline**: GitHub Actions workflow targeting PHP 7.1, 7.2,
7.3 and 7.4
- **Fix `curl_close` deprecation**: Wrap `curl_close($ch)` in a
`PHP_VERSION_ID < 80000` check — `curl_close()` is a no-op and
deprecated since PHP 8.0
- **`.gitattributes`**: Add `/.github export-ignore` so the workflow
files are excluded from archives

Fixes #863
