Fix#4600. String incrementation through the `++` operator is deprecated in Php 8.5. Because we make use of that operator to iterate through columns, we are particularly hard hit by that change - unaddressed, it causes over 2,000 errors in our test suite! It is, fortunately, not as difficult as I feared to correct. Replacing the `++` operator with a call to new method `StringHelper::stringIncrement` in 79 statements scattered over 31 source modules (in src, samples, test, and infra) eliminates all the messages in the test suite. It is possible that others are lurking, but I don't know a systematic way of determining if there are others. We'll stick with this for now, and deal with any others as they show up.
This PR will be applied to the master, release390, and release222 branches. It will not be applied to the release210 or release1291 branches, which will now accept security changes only.
The samples have become unwieldy when running them from a browser. In particular, the drop-down lists are fixed size with no scrolling, and many of them are now just too large. I have moved all the Calculation samples up a level, and broken several categories (Basic, Chart, DateTime, Engineering, Financial, and Reader) into several pieces.
Convert-Online (now found in the Engineering category) had a number of different problems which are now resolved. It is the only member with any significant code change.
