PHP 8.3 support in Dotkernel Frontend

To be able to take advantage of the support for PHP 8.3 in the newest packages, the DotKernel team has updated the Frontend Application to version 4.2.0. Very much like for the Admin update before it, the Frontend must also remove support for PHP 8.1 and the no-longer-available PhpFileCache class until a replacement is implemented.
