 ----

 `ReflectionProperty::setAccessible()` and similar are deprecated since
 8.5, as they have no effect since 8.1.

 The solution is to call these functions only conditionally (e.g. `if
 (\PHP_VERSION_ID < 80100) { $reflection->setAccessible(true); }`)

 There are quite a few instances in core tests that we need to fix. See
