[Feature Request] Add a updater feature inside maxmind official GeoIP2 php SDK

Could Maxmind maintain a PHP version of updater or directly integrate such a function into the SDK itself? Something like this:

use GeoIp2\Database\Updater;

...

$updater = new Updater('account_id', 'license_key', '/storage/GeoLite2', ['GeoLite2-City', 'GeoLite2-Country']);

...

$updater->run();

I know there is an official updater that is written in Go, but it's kinda weird to ship a 5.33MB binary along with other open-source PHP code and I want a trusted dependency in our open-source projects to prevent such a thing from ever happening again.

Building an equivalent to our geoipupdate tool in additional languages goes beyond the scope of the support that we normally provide, and I don't anticipate we'll have the resources to devote to this in the near future.

For others looking to do this in the future, I've added this in my location package:

    {
        @mkdir(
            $root = Str::of($this->getDatabasePath())->dirname()
        );

        $storage = Storage::build([
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => $root,
        ]);

        $tarFilePath = $storage->path(
            $tarFileName = 'maxmind.tar.gz'
        );

        $response = Http::withOptions(['sink' => $tarFilePath])->get(
            $this->getDatabaseUrl()

            $response->failed(),
            new RuntimeException('Failed to download MaxMind database. Response: '.$response->body())
        );

        $archive = new PharData($tarFilePath);

        $file = $this->discoverDatabaseFile($archive);

        $directory = Str::of($file->getPath())->basename();

        $relativePath = implode('/', [$directory, $file->getFilename()]);

        $archive->extractTo($storage->path('/'), $relativePath, true);

        file_put_contents(
            $this->getDatabasePath(),
            fopen($storage->path($relativePath), 'r')
        );

        $storage->delete($tarFileName);
        $storage->deleteDirectory($directory);
    }

    /**

            }
        }

        throw new Exception('Unable to locate database file inside of MaxMind archive.');
    }
