Drop support for Drupal 8 and 9, require PHP 8.1

Created on 4 November 2023, over 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

Drupal 10 is now the lowest supported version. If we drop support for Drupal 8 and 9 we can set the minimum required PHP version to 8.1.

This opens the door to adopting the improvements brought by PHP 8, better type support, annotations etc.

Proposed resolution

Drop support for Drupal 8 + 9.
Require PHP 8.1.
Announce this in mailchimp.info.yml and composer.json.
Update automated test configuration to only run tests on supported versions.

Depending on whether backwards compatibility support is considered important by the maintainers we can do this in a minor 2.3.0 release or major 3.0.0 release
