Description:
------------
This page mentions the --with-libmbfl configure option:
http://php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php

The bundled libmbfl library for mbstring extension is not in sync with the upstream library located at https://github.com/moriyoshi/libmbfl. In the master PHP branch the bundled libmbfl library is now developed as a fork in the php-src directly instead:
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2823

Therefore the configure option --with-libmbfl is not recommended to use anymore in PHP >= 7.3.

So, best to remove the --with-libmbfl configure option:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75340

and update the documentation with a warning or completely removing the configure option for using an external libmbfl library.
