PHP 8.1 Depreciation Notice (Pantheon_Sessions)

Hi @heavencore

As noted in the GitHub issue, the deprecation warnings have been silenced with the 1.2.5 release. I have created an issue internally to prioritize a full evaluation for PHP 8.x compatibility to address the underlying issue and proposed solution so we can ensure backwards compatibility with older versions of PHP.
