What Happened?

In php 8.3 there are some deprecated warnings. I see most of the compiler templates already have it set correctly. Only a couple are missing. I did a regex search in the whole joomla install and found the below ones.

A simple search and replace for these instances:

MVCFactoryInterface $factory = null

Registry $input = null (in rules)

Table $table = null

string $section = null

It just needs a ? added in front of these to fix it but you already knew that of course.

I have fixed these in the templates (today) but those in the rules are DB values, and while I fixed them on my end, so new systems will start with them fixed, you will manually have to update those in your respective systems.
