Semanticmediawiki: Abandoned guzzlehttp packages

[justinclloyd]

Setup

• SMW version: 3.2.x
• MW version: 1.35.1 (current REL1_35 branch from GitHub)
• PHP version: 7.4.3

Issue

Running php composer.phar update --no-dev with an empty composer.local.json against MediaWiki REL1_35 branch from GitHub has no issues. After adding "mediawiki/semantic-media-wiki": "~3.2.0" to composer.local.json, there are two warnings about abandoned guzzlehttp packages:

Steps to reproduce the observation (recommendation is to use the sandbox):

[JeroenDeDauw]

Cause:

SMW depends on elasticsearch/elasticsearch: ^5.3|^6.0 which depends on those abandoned packages

Fix:

Allow installation with https://packagist.org/packages/elasticsearch/elasticsearch 7.x (or later)

I'd not touch this until CirrusSearch moves on to newer versions of Elasticserach. Labeling this with "mediawiki" too since upstream is the holdup, even if it is not core.
