Sergey Biryukov b9351465d6 Code Modernization: Replace strftime() and gmstrftime() usage in unit tests.
Since PHP 8.1, the `strftime()` and `gmstrftime()` functions are deprecated:

> The `strftime()` and `gmstrftime()` functions exhibit similar issues as `strptime()`, in that the formats they support, as well as their behavior, is platform-dependent. Unlike `strptime()`, these functions are available on Windows, though with a different feature set than on Linux. Musl-based distributions like Alpine do not support timezone-related format specifiers correctly. These functions are also locale-based, and as such may exhibit thread-safety issues.
>
> `date()` or `DateTime::format()` provide portable alternatives, and `IntlDateFormatter::format()` provides a more sophisticated, localization-aware alternative.

Reference: [https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecations_php_8_1#strftime_and_gmstrftime PHP RFC: Deprecations for PHP 8.1: strftime() and gmstrftime()]

> The `strftime()` and `gmstrftime()` functions have been deprecated in favor of
> `date()/DateTime::format()` (for locale-independent formatting) or
> `IntlDateFormatter::format()` (for locale-dependent formatting).

Reference: [1cf4fb739f/UPGRADING (L379-L381) PHP 8.1 Upgrade Notes].

Aside from one instance in SimplePie, the `strftime()` and `gmstrftime()` functions are only used within the test suite of WordPress to create formatted timestamps.

As the function is used in test code, this leads to test warnings like this on PHP 8.1:
{{{
Deprecated: Function strftime() is deprecated in path/to/tests/phpunit/tests/canonical/postStatus.php on line 37
}}}

These calls can all be safely converted to use a pattern along the lines of:
{{{#!php
<?php
date_format( date_create( 'time phrase or timestamp' ), $format )
}}}

Props jrf, SergeyBiryukov.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user.  DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory.  All files in that directory will be included by default.  Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run.  This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs.  Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
