Upgrade to `spatie/laravel-permission` v6.1

[callmejed]

I'm using Spatie ^6.1 so composer require fails since this package seems to require Spatie ^5.0

Hi @callmejed!

I've read the upgrade guide and it seems there was a lot of changes/possible breaking changes. https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission/blob/main/docs/upgrading.md#upgrading-from-v5-to-v6

We're probably work this out for the new backpack version.

We should be able to add support for spatie/laravel-permission v6, it has nothing to do with backpack/crud. We can do this:

• backpack/permissionmanager v7 will support spatie/laravel-permission v3, v4, v5
• backpack/permissionmanager v8 will support only spatie/laravel-permission v6

So yeah, I'd stay we should prioritize and do this, if people use the latest PermissionManager they can't add this Backpack add-on on top.

That would be fantastic <3
