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.
Images will be loaded from an external source (e.g. http://example.com/img.png) only if the reader is explicitly set to allow it via `$reader->setAllowExternalImages(true)`.
* All Readers - Allow or Forbid Fetching of External Images Release222
Add to all readers the option to allow or forbid fetching external images. This is unconditionally allowed now. The default will be set to "allow", so no code changes are necessary. However, we are giving consideration to changing the default.

* Allow Xlsx Reader to Specify ParseHuge Release222
Fix#4260. A number of Security Advisories related to libxml_options were opened. In the end, we disabled the ability to specify any libxml_options. However, some users were adversely affected because they needed LIBXML_PARSEHUGE for some of their files. Having finally obtained access to a file demonstrating this problem, we can restore this ability.
- The operation is potentially dangerous, a vector for memory leaks and out-of-memory errors. It is not recommended unless absolutely needed.
- It will not be permitted as a global (static) property with the ability to adversely affect other users on the same server.
- It will instead be implemented as an instance property of Xlsx Reader (default to false), with a setter. I do not see a use case for a getter.
- People will need to set this property individually for each file which they think needs it.
- This change will be backported to all supported releases.
- The sheer size and processing time for the file involved makes it impractical to add a formal test case. It has, nevertheless, been tested satisfactorily.
* Unneeded Blank Line
* Update CHANGELOG.md
Fix#4249. Technically speaking, only the 1.29 branch needs fixing, and only for TEXT. It was fixed for the other branches by PR #3898. However, in adding test cases for the fix, it became apparent that PhpSpreadsheet's parsing in TIMEVALUE (which is called from TEXT in the original issue) did not really match Excel's. There are probably still edge cases where it doesn't, but, in the absence of a spec for how it operates, this will do for now.
We do not usually backport fixes from the master branch. Because this is more of a forward port from the earlier branch, there is an equivalent PR for each active branch.
