Not a case with regular Packagist packages, but some custom installers with custom repos do this, and the current behavior should not randomly change at some point, as that would cause downstream breakage.
* PHP 8.1/Tests: fix some deprecation warnings
The default value for the `preg_split()` `$limit` parameter is `-1`, not `null`.
Fixes numerous `preg_split(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($limit) of type int is deprecated` notices when running the test suite.

* PHP 8.1: fix deprecation warnings / http_build_query()
This fixes all relevant calls to the PHP native `http_build_query()` function.
The second parameter of which is the _optional_ `$numeric_prefix` parameter which expects a `string`.
A parameter being optional, however, does not automatically make it nullable.
As of PHP 8.1, passing `null` to a non-nullable PHP native function will generate a deprecation notice.
In this case, these function calls yielded a `http_build_query(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($numeric_prefix) of type string is deprecated` notice.
Changing the `null` to an empty string fixes this without BC-break.
Fixes a few deprecation warnings found when running the tests.

* PHP 8.1: fix deprecation notices / PharData::__construct()
This fixes all relevant calls to the PHP native `PharData::__construct()` method.
The second parameter of this method is the _optional_ `$flags` parameter which expects an `int` of flags to be passed to the `Phar` parent class `RecursiveDirectoryIterator`.
Fixed by passing the default value for the `$flags` parameter as per the `RecursiveDirectoryIterator::__construct()` method.
The third parameter of the method is the _optional_ `$alias` parameter which expects an `string`.
Fixed by passing an empty string.
Fixes various notices along the lines of:

Restores some Composer 1.x behavior like unbound constraints conflicting
with default branches unless they are branch aliased.
Simplifies conflicts with aliases because packages cannot be installed
without their aliases, so we do not need to know which aliases are
uninstalled in lock file or installed.json.
So far the ordering of alias packages with the same name was undefined
so the actual order was determined by implementation of the sorting
algorithm in PHP. As of PHP8 sort is stable by default which changes the
outcome in some of our test cases.
With the fully defined total order the order can longer change depending
on sorting algorithm used and remains the same across PHP versions.
