PHP 8.1 and below interpreted unknown modes as `MT_RAND_MT19937`, but PHP 8.2+ interprets them as `MT_RAND_PHP`. Align the behavior with PHP 8.1 and below, because folks should be steered towards the standard mode.

Apparently PHP 8.2.17 was branched off after creating the PR and before merging it, placing the NEWS in the wrong location.

see: https://3v4l.org/fOZbQ. Will need some adjustments when merging to PHP 8.3, due to the deprecation.
