remove mcrypt

This MR removes the mcrypt extension which is deprecated since PHP7.1 and removed in php7.2. This extension is abandonware, the last update to libmcrypt was in 2007. It has been removed from Laravel years ago.

Why was this MR needed? Because it would install irrelevant, obsolete and maybe dangerous php extension.
