Please support PHP 8.0 while Drupal 9 is supported

Problem/Motivation

Drupal 9 currently runs on PHP 8.0 and above. Drupal 10 requires PHP 8.1. Projects that are intended to be compatible with Drupal 9 should retain compatibility with PHP 8.0.

When Bootstrap was updated to be compatible with Drupal 10 it dropped support for PHP 8.0, despite not needing to. This means that sites running on servers which are currently limited to PHP 8.0 cannot update, and other modules/themes which use Bootstrap as part of its testing suite against PHP 8.0 cannot load the Bootstrap theme as Composer fails due to the PHP version conflict (unfortunately Composer isn't smart enough to just load an older version).

Proposed resolution

Remove the PHP requirement line from composer.json.
