Description: With php-legacy, the `php-legacy-imap` extension is missing.

`php-imap` doesn't exist either, not even in AUR, where are the IMAP extensions?

See #77244, as that mentions, this broke my nextcloud installation. Had to copy the IMAP .so from an old package file, but I'm afraid this will break in the future.

The wiki mentions removing IMAP extension, but why?

Last sentence of [1] explains the removal.
The imap extension will no longer be provided as it relies on the c-client library which has been abandoned for many years.
