Description
I have 2 instances of Nextcloud running 16.0.1, with Circles 0.17.3, both running PHP 7.3.
Whenever I attempt to create a federated circle between the two instances, I get the following error:
A link to ####@#### could not be initiated: Passing in the "body" request option as an array to send a POST request has been deprecated. Please use the "form_params" request option to send a application/x-www-form-urlencoded request, or the "multipart" request option to send a multipart/form-data request.
(circle and server name have been removed, but are both valid).
This same error occurs when attempting to configure federation from either side. I have enabled federated circles in the admin settings and in the circles themselves, and clicked the 'Link a Circle' link to attempt to link them.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the federated-circle linking attempt with Nextcloud 16.0.1, Circles 0.17.3, and PHP 7.3 on two instances. Trace the POST request that produces the reported deprecation and verify federation setup from both sides. Done means a federated circle can be created without that error.
