Drop support for some older versions of PHP and Laravel in the next major release

[adiachenko]

At the moment our versions constraints are brittle and its getting harder to anticipate where things might break due to wide range of supported software.

I suggest to limit support to the following versions to ease maintenance burden:

• PHP >= 7.4 (support for PHP 7.3 will end on December 6)
• Laravel >= 6.0 (this is the last version that still receives security fixes)

This also allows us to clean up some other dependencies a bit:

• "openzipkin/zipkin": "~2.0.2|~3.0" => "~3.0"
• "phpunit/phpunit": "~7.0|~8.0" => "~9.0"

Users of older PHP/Laravel can still avail of older versions of the package.

Opinions? @Mulkave @KinaneD

Yeah, Zipkin 3 has been released and there is #40 on review to tag our own v2.1.0 (final) release that includes it.

[KinaneD]

It was indeed.
Thank you @adiachenko @jcchavezs 🦾
