Laravel-medialibrary: Preparing v8

[freekmurze]

I'm preparing a new major version of the media library.

I don't have any big new features planned. I see v8 as a clean up released where we take care of some technical debt and drop support for anything below PHP7.4.

Your contributions are welcome as a PR on the v8 branch.

If you have feature requests, let me know!

Upload media before creating Model would be a very nice feature for this release.

@salierg I'm prepping something behind the scenes that 'll take care of this.

Possibility to dynamically add media conversions to the model would we very great.

Would be great to keep Lumen support (which was broken by a small change in the MediaObserver class to check the Laravel version). I don't know what changes were made and will be made until the v8 gets released, but I believe it wouldn't be hard to keep the support even if it's not something you need to.

@lcdss Feel free to submit a fix to the v8 branch.

Feature request: When adding media from disk to a collection, if the remote file and the media disk are the same, move the remote file to the destination instead of reading and writing streams.

Specifically looking to add a file on S3 located at tmp/file1.jpg in BucketX to a media collection using the same bucket on S3.

@mattdfloyd That's a nice idea. I welcome a fully tested PR that adds this to the package.
