Quite an unrealistic scenario, but still a valid fix.
Please add a changelog entry.

Please rebase into the 4.8 branch, as this will be a more appropriate release for these changes. Also, please change this method signature for all handlers.

Please use DataProvider instead of a loop.

| - **Content Security Policy:** Fixed a bug where empty ``Content-Security-Policy``, ``Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only``, and ``Reporting-Endpoints`` response headers were generated when no corresponding values existed. | ||
| - **Logger:** Fixed a bug where interpolating a log message with array or non-stringable context values could raise PHP warnings or errors. | ||
| - **Session:** Added ``int`` type hint to ``DatabaseHandler::gc()`` and ``PostgreHandler::gc()`` to prevent SQL injection from non-integer ``$max_lifetime`` values. |

Please add something like this under the Method Signature Changes section:
- **Session:** The ``$max_lifetime`` parameter of the following ``gc()`` methods
now has the native ``int`` type, matching ``SessionHandlerInterface``.
You can also list all affected handlers - this will match other entries.

This is a refactor, and as mentioned should be targeting 4.8 branch instead.

This tests a PHP feature, not the method itself. Thus, the test is unnecessary.

Add int type hint to $max_lifetime in gc() for all 6 session handlers to match SessionHandlerInterface, preventing SQL injection from non-integer input. Includes changelog entry in v4.8.0.rst under Method Signature Changes.

Description
Added int type hint to $max_lifetime in all 6 session handlers' gc() to match SessionHandlerInterface. This prevents SQL injection from non-integer input by rejecting it with a
TypeError.Affected handlers: ArrayHandler, DatabaseHandler, FileHandler, MemcachedHandler, PostgreHandler, RedisHandler.
