update PHP and Composer as preparation to PHP-8-upgrade

Peter Tönnies requested to merge Feature/PT-updatePHPAndComposer into master

What does this MR do?

It pulls the newest php images to get composer 2 and the last PHP version before PHP 8 into our main repo. Prestissimo got removed, as they recommend not to use it in composer 2 (and it was incompatible) C3 got removed, as it was not in use currently and as Matthias gave me the OK for this (and it was incompatible)

How confident are you it won't break things if deployed?

If CI is happy, we can be, too, I guess.

How to test

Checkout, rebuild images, see if it still works. (possibly have a look on static code analysis tools due to the PHP version change)
