PHP 8.1 | Other reserved words: add never
Similar to PR 938 for the PHP 8.0 `mixed` reserved word, this commit adds the new reserved word `never` to the list of "Other reserved words" and adds a mention of this to the Backward Incompatible Changes page in the migration guide.

Co-authored-by: jrfnl <jrfnl@users.noreply.github.com>

Closes GH-1434.

<title>List of Reserved Words</title>
<para>
The following is a listing of predefined identifiers in PHP. None
of the identifiers listed here should be used as identifiers in any of
your scripts unless explicitly noted otherwise. These lists include keywords and predefined variables,
constant, and class names. These lists are neither exhaustive nor
complete.

<title>List of Keywords</title>
<simpara>
These words have special meaning in PHP. Some of them represent things
which look like functions, some look like constants, and so on - but
they're not, really: they are language constructs.
The following words cannot be used as constants, class names, function or method names.
They are, however, allowed as property, constant, and
method names of classes, interfaces and traits, except that
<literal>class</literal> may not be used as constant name.
