Public bug reported:

Mahara sets its error reporting to E_ALL (in error.php). Prior to PHP
5.4, E_ALL, despite the name, did not include E_STRICT. Starting with
PHP 5.4, it does include E_STRICT.

Since Mahara has been running all this time with E_STRICT messages
silenced, there are a lot of E_STRICT violations in the codebase, and on
PHP 5.4+ servers, the logs are so full of them as to be useless.

In the long term we should fix all the E_STRICT warnings, but for the
short term we should just silence them.
