Part of #82931.

What?

Pins the PHP version used by the end-to-end tests to 8.2, the highest version WordPress 6.2 supports.

Why?

The end-to-end workflow sets no PHP version and .wp-env.json has no phpVersion, so wp-env builds the WordPress containers from the floating wordpress and wordpress:cli images. Those follow Docker Hub's latest tag, which is PHP 8.3 today, and they move to a new PHP version whenever Docker Hub retags latest, with no change on this branch. The unit tests already pin their PHP version through WP_ENV_PHP_VERSION. wp/5.5 ran into this: on the floating image's PHP 8.3, 10 of its end-to-end tests failed, which led to #85012 and #85013.

With this change, the end-to-end tests run on PHP 8.2, a lower version than today's PHP 8.3.

How?

.github/workflows/end2end-test.yml sets WP_ENV_PHP_VERSION: '8.2' in the workflow-level env:. wp-env already reads this variable and builds its WordPress and WP-CLI images from wordpress:php8.2 and wordpress:cli-php8.2, the same images the 8.2 unit-test legs use.
