New description:

 OK, I discovered these problems, because `php-oracle` fails to install,
 leading the GitHub Actions CI to fail all my updates to the
 `lang/php/Portfile`.

 1. Oracle has moved all downloads behind a login-wall
 2. the `master_sites` URL has changed
 3. the versions ''' !really! ''' needs to be updated
 4. there's now an `arm64` version too
 5. every `arch` now has it's own latest version
 6. Oracle has changed the download format from `.zip` to `.dmg` for the
 `arm64` & `x86_64` arches
 7. ports that have `depends_lib{,-append} port:oracle-instantclient` now
 fail in the buildbot due to (1)
 8. `post-fetch` fails when `master_sites` is correct

 regarding (6): \\
 Can one just set `extract.suffix` to `.dmg` where required ?

 regarding (8): \\
 The issue here is, that w/ an in-correct `master_sites` one just get a
 bare `404` ; w/ a correct `master_sites` one gets '''both''' a `404` and
 some `html`

 I've got a draft PR : https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/pull/32229
