This issue is automatically created based on existing pull request: #40688: fix: remove dead openssl_free_key() code path in JwkFactory

Description

Remove the dead openssl_free_key() code path from JwkFactory::freeResource().

Problem

The freeResource() method contains a version check that is always false:

if (\is_resource($resource) && (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '8.0') < 0)) {
    openssl_free_key($resource);
}

Since Magento requires PHP 8.3+, this condition can never be true. In PHP 8.0+, OpenSSL key resources were replaced with OpenSSLAsymmetricKey objects that are automatically freed by garbage collection, and openssl_free_key() was deprecated (removed in 8.5).

Solution

Remove the dead code path from the method body. The method signature is preserved since it is called from within the class.
