Botman: Botman and Laravel-Websockets incompatibility on react/socket version

[stefandanaita]

• BotMan Version: 2.4.1
• PHP Version: 7.3
• Messaging Service(s): any
• Cache Driver: redis

Description: Botman cannot be used with laravel-websockets:^1.1 because Botman requires react/socket:~1.0 and laravel-websockets requires react/socket:^1.1

Steps To Reproduce: Try to require both and it will gracefully fail 😭

1001 Alot of projects are blocked because botman hasn't made a release in over 6 months. I think its been abandoned, the owner hasn't been responsive to issues or questions in a while.

@christophrumpel is this something you can help with while Marcel is away/not caring about Botman anymore at all? This should be a fairly quick one to fix and would unblock many of us being completely stuck 😭

It's quite annoying to see two huge still maintained packages developed by the same developer/team not being compatible with each other on dependency semver for so long

Hey, I can try. Is there already a PR I can look at?

[stefandanaita]

Managed to get it working by requiring v2.0.x-dev, but this needs to make its way into a proper tag. Running a package like this on a branch is...
